'Quirky, colourful and fun handmade resin & plastic jewellery'

Hi! I live in a beautiful little town called Longridge in the North West of England with my cycling obsessed husband and my little whirlwind of a toddler Arthur. I am an avid cyclist and try to get out on my bike as much as I can although I can never keep up with my husband trying to cycle up the hills! The surrounding countryside as well as travelling is a constant source of inspiration, I always ensure I have my camera ready to snap anything that might trigger an idea for my designs.

I have been making jewellery for over 10 years after studying Surface Pattern Design specialising in Textiles at Preston University and have exhibited in a wide range of galleries around the country; however, to help me pay the mortgage I teach Art and am currently the Head of Art in a secondary school in Lancaster.I am constantly being inspired to create new designs and come up with new ideas to keep my own ideas fresh but also my teaching. I feel very lucky to have a job which can say I love doing and is inspiring for both my students and myself.

I work primarily with plastic and resin and like to experiment with visual imagery I photograph and patterned surfaces I create so they can be manipulated in photo shop. I love how a standard image can be transformed into something totally different and am always excited to see the final outcome.
Inspiration for my work is varied, I have always been drawn to nature and anything bright and slightly kitsch- two total contrasts there I know! I think raiding my nana's old button box when I was little triggered a love of trinkets and nostalgia which I've hoarded since and used in some of my jewellery pieces. Each piece of jewellery I make is unique, even if it is a duplicate there will be a slightly different button or quirk in the resin. I would like to think that my jewellery reflects my interests and hope that you get as much pleasure out of wearing my jewellery as I do making it!

If you've reached this point then that's a good sign that I haven't bored you off! Thanks again peeps for looking at my shop!
