Each piece is designed and handmade by me.

inspiration

My work draws upon the many visual and tactile pleasures of this world, incorporating found stones, salvaged wood, up-cycled fabrics, handmade wool felt, beeswax and naturally tanned leathers. I find joy in creating a canvas for the beautiful things around us to be adorned and worn, as simply and as naturally as possible.

I take great pride in purchasing the raw materials for my metalwork from a refining company whose entire precious metal supply is 100% recycled.

care

Much of my work incorporates handmade felt. Felting is the oldest form of fabric making, predating yarns and threads of which most modern cloth is woven. During the felting process fibers are vigorously massaged with soap and water, binding together to form an amazingly versatile and strong material.

Refresh or clean your felted wool by hand washing with soap and patting dry.

To restore polished surfaces of metalwork, use soft synthetic wool and soapy water to lightly shine, being careful not to remove desired patinas.
