Emma is a designer / maker based near the seaside in Poole, Dorset. She makes jewellery that is inspired by mid-century fabric prints, architecture and illustrations, influencing her choice of colour and form. Emma likes to imagine her work as tiny sculptures, adding pops of colour with hand-painted lacquers.

Her designs focus on the angles where a stack of bangles cross and layer, or the contrast between polished silver and a flash of colour.Emma collages different metal elements together, working with wire and cast forms using traditional silversmithing techniques.

Starting by designing with brief sketches in 2D, but quickly moving to 3D experimentation. There is always a period of trial and error, putting together a jigsaw of all the individual elements and then rearranging until wearable pieces start to appear.
