Haven’t reeled in a while, but I thought I’d share an overview of this process: making a replacement of a client’s lost earring to complete the pair

Thanks to my lovely stockists 💖

✨EXHIBITION✨

I’m delighted to share that this piece is showing at the ‘what lies beneath’ exhibition opening tonight 6-8pm and running to 29 March

The exhibition is a showcase of existing work by jewellers that has been tucked away, waiting to see the light of day again. It’s a perfect brief for me—my little baby boy is 12 weeks today, and it feels like it’ll be a while yet until I’m back in the studio and making something new!

This piece is called ‘Daisy Chain’ and was first exhibited in 2023 as part of a group exhibition

It is made of fine and sterling silver and measures roughly 15.5 x 15.5 x 1 cm

I’ve been working on a big project for a while now—as someone suggested to me, ‘my greatest artwork yet’

Over the next few weeks I’ll be winding down to prepare for baby, and will take some time out once baby arrives

I’m not closing up, but putting a pause on my making for a little while so I can immerse myself in a new world with this little creation

In the meantime, I still have stock available through my website, and of course you can get my jewellery from any of my lovely stockists

I began silversmithing as a way to explore my creativity, express myself, to escape a little from the world and to play. These things are important to me, and are all things that I’ll still need to do for myself when I have time. So, when it suits baby and me, I’ll begin to take a few hours here and there to return to my studio and pick up the tools

Thank you to the amazing for this and many other beautiful shots of me and my belly 💖✨

I am so thrilled to be donating this work to the Art Auction, taking place tomorrow, Saturday 18 October Proceeds support local artists through CAPO’s grants program.

I was lucky enough to receive two CAPO grants a couple of years ago, and with that money I bought some fantastic equipment for my practice ✨

I’ve also attended an auction, and they are SO much fun. If you’re in Canberra, I highly recommend you go along!
