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 either cast it into designs or forge 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.

Little Haddon Barn is a beautiful peaceful place and I feel so blessed to work here. I love having visitors, be that people joining me for a day course, or coming to meet me at my work space and see what I'm working on.
My mobile workshop is a lot of fun. I've been running these for the last 10 years at festivals, street fairs, art trails and private events.
I very much enjoy the contrast of the quiet serenity when working alone in my work space, and the vibrancy of a busy event.

I love the process of taking scrap, melting it down to turn it into something beautiful,
