About
I work at Little Haddon Barn, near the village of Skilgate, on the edge of Exmoor national park.
My purpose built workshop is converted from a stone cattle shed (or linhay), using wherever possible repurposed materials, or seconds from a local saw mill.

I have been making jewellery most of my adult life. I am fascinated with the concept of the talisman, and how jewellery has been symbolic throughout time. As a young adult I studied with a local silversmith, this gave me the confidence to explore the craft and what I make now has been mostly self taught in the years since.
I am a strong advocate of recycle and re-use, focusing on using scrap sterling silver, melting it down to cast it into designs using a cuttlebone, sand casting, or forging into organic shapes. I love to take broken things that link you to a person or place, and reuse them to make something personal and with deeper meaning.

Cuttlebone casting
Despite their name, cuttlefish are not fish but molluscs, that have a hard, internal structure called a “cuttlebone” for buoyancy control.
Cuttlefish only live for 1 to 2 years and you can often find cuttlebones washed up on beaches, a by-product of the sea, so not harming anything to reuse in this way.
I collect all of my cuttlebones from uk beaches, and collect plastic at the same time, taking something and giving back.
Cuttlebone casting is an ancient technique of creating a cast object that dates back over 5000 years.
