My work is inspired by contemporary Japanese architecture that is modernist and geometric in style. Fusing 3d computer technology with traditional gold-smithing skills enables me to produce geometric shapes that are hand-finished to create a range of contemporary geometric jewellery. Each piece encapsulates the simplicity of the line. Prior to my jewellery career I previously worked for 15 years in Human Resources for a major publishing company. Wanting to make use of my creative skills, I decided to embark on a career change and studied for 3 years at Buckinghamshire New University for my BA (Hons) Jewellery Degree and I graduated in 2010. Since graduating in 2010 I have established my workshop in Oxfordshire and will be showcasing my work in the Newcomer’s Gallery at this year’s British Craft Trade Festival in Harrogate.

I work from my studio in Glasgow and specialise in kiln-formed glass. I use traditional techniques such as screen-printing with fired enamels, combined with the modern innovation of water-jet cutting. My unique range of precision cut silhouette glass creatures are adorned with various whimsical designs in bright permanent colours.
I graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with a BA(Hons) in Architectural Glass and have exhibited my sculpture globally in group exhibitions. My work is available to buy online, with most pieces custom made to order and I can also be commissioned for bespoke glass work.

For Your Beads Only is bold and beautiful jewellery made by Sulamith Kilian-Carter. Every piece is individually handcrafted with much thought and care. Sulamith uses a wide range of materials to create her jewellery, from colourful handmade Indian lampwork glass beads, semi-precious gemstones, natural shell and wooden beads to vintage and recycled beads and fabric to ensure a unique look and finish.
The impressions and experiences collected during her travels in South America, and her studies into different material cultures, have motivated her to become a jewellery designer and have a strong influence on her work today. Every piece has its own personality and is given a name which best reflects the inspiration drawn on and material used to make it.

“Ostranenie: encouraging people to see common things as strange, wild or unfamiliar; de-familiarizing what is known in order to know it more differently or more deeply” As a magpie of treasures that others would deem mundane and invaluable, Fran is fascinated by ‘ostranenie’. Finding beauty in surfaces and objects that are blemished and imperfect, resonates […]

My work is made in silver, a material that I love to use. It can be formed, polished or patterned in so many ways and complements the colours and textures next to it.
I make silver jewellery in its polished state or oxidised to create a deeply luscious dark finish and often combined with pearls. In addition to jewellery I also make silver Christmas decorations and tableware.

Catherine is a designer maker from Devon who creates handmade silver jewellery which incorporates brass, copper and bead work. A fascination with birds inspires a lot of her work – drawings of birds watched from her Dartmoor studio and on travels further afield are incorporated into the designs for each piece. She tries to create designs which are delicate and include movement to evoke some of the qualities of the birds which she studies. Catherine is largely self taught and developed her style working with bird imagery, contrasts between Silver and Brass, engraving and oxidation techniques.

I produce unique, easy to wear and eco-conscious jewellery inspired by the sea and the special moments we spend there.
My approach to jewellery design is intuitive, organic and led by the heart. I don’t take influence from mainstream fashion trends and instead draw my inspiration from the ocean and the small moments in our lives that take our breath away. I believe that jewellery should feel like a part of us, a part of our own story, and that idea is woven into everything I do. My previous creative career as Model Maker has provided me with an interdisciplinary and illustrative technique that is totally unique: it’s my hope that my work helps people to feel connected to the people and places that they love most.

I’m Paulomi and I’m the founder and artist of Handmade by Tinni.

My art is heavily influenced by the bright colours of nature, exotic places I have travelled and the rich Indian heritage and colours. I specialise in the art of traditional rope knotting crafts and processes like macramé; creating colourful, unique and bold designs to make them special!
