When I was at uni studying product design, I did a few gold and silver smithing courses, but I don't think I got out of it as much as I would have liked, mostly because I was a poor student and couldn't afford much silver, so I worked mostly in aluminium, copper and acrylic. After working in brass and silver through my 3D printing, I've started playing with the raw metals again to make new pieces, which is quite satisfying because you can see the result straight away, instead of waiting several weeks for a 3D print. I've slowly been building up my workshop, practicing my soldering, and working on new designs. Mostly I'm just making things because I want to wear a new necklace or earrings for an upcoming event, and the feedback I've been getting when I wear the pieces out have been really positive so I've started make more for sale.
Because I can work as soon as a design strikes me, production runs may be more limited as I replace older designs with newer ones at a quicker rate, but if you see something you like, or if you like a design but want something slightly altered, let me know and I can do custom work.
I am very happy that
Miss Bond in Fortitude Valley is stocking my jewellery, 3D printed pieces as well as my new range. Plus she sells her own beautiful jewellery and those from other local designers, so it's well worth a trip to have a look.
