Jo Bull is a jewellery designer and lapidarist. One of her signature designs is jewellery incorporating milk sea glass from the North-East of England. Jo first encountered the milk sea glass washed up along the beaches of Seaham in County Durham and was drawn to the rich history of the glass factories that lined the coastlines for over a century. Unlike most translucent sea glass which beachcombers find while on our beaches, milk sea glass is opaque in colour. It washes up in wonderful smooth white and pastel colours. Jo felt the colours were so striking that she wanted to incorporate the glass into her jewellery. Each piece of milk sea glass is shaped and polished by hand by Jo. Taking inspiration from the coast, she creates irregular and one-off pieces of jewellery, working with the erosion and texture of the glass.
