About Me
I work in a small room in my house, on an old dressing table that I have fashioned into a bench, surrounded by tools and equipment I have quickly grown to love!
By day, I’m a farmer. I work with my father and twin sister growing arable crops and potatoes in the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds (if you’ve never been, you should book a long weekend here!).
By night, I like to close the door on my little workshop and work with silver to create beautiful jewellery for other people to wear. That might be the end of my story, but to really understand why I found myself here, I have to go much further back.
I always loved the creative subjects at school which led me to choose to study a degree in design to develop my creative passion.
I travelled for a number of years after university before settling in London, but my career wasn’t in what would be typically seen as a creative field – I ran events for Chelsea FC then CRUK! A year after the birth of our first child, we moved back up to Lincolnshire to be close to the farm and explore opportunities to create a new life for our young family.
After 20 years out of the creative world, I decided I wanted to get back into it, which coincided with me fancying some new jewellery, so I booked onto an evening’s silversmithing course and was hooked…. After that, there was another evening spending savings on equipment and silver…. and I haven’t looked back since!
I now dovetail my farming career with managing some (award winning!) self-catering properties with my sister, renovating a house with my husband and now…. making jewellery.
