Natalie Baker is an Australian contemporary jewellery designer living in Scotland. Working from her studio at Vanilla Ink in Glasgow, she produces sculptural but eminently wearable jewellery.

Her work is handcrafted from precious metals often combined with Murano glass, concrete and Jesmonite. Working with materials usually associated with construction, Natalie enjoys the process of turning these basic elements into something of beauty. Each piece is unique and demonstrates a passion for colour, form and line.

Inspiration comes from many different sources including man made structures and surfaces, each piece speaking of a keen interest in structural composition and material process.

Natalie studied jewellery and object design at Randwick TAFE, Sydney.

Tracey grew up in Manchester before studying and graduating in 3-Dimensional Design from Brighton University. After completing her degree, where she majored in ceramics, Tracey moved back home to the amazing city of Manchester. In 1996, Tracey established her studio at the Manchester Craft & Design Centre in the city’s Northern Quarter.

Each petal is hand formed out of porcelain clay. These are then fired and glazed, to have different matt and shiny textures. Each one is then decorated with a special ceramic ‘lustre’ glaze – the gold contains real gold and the silver coloured lustre contains real platinum! These are painted onto the petals to colour the petals or to form intricate patterns including lots of spots and stripes!

Once the lustres have been fired onto the petals, the petals are then carefully linked together to form earrings and necklaces. Tiny freshwater pearls are used to embellish the pieces. All the fittings, earrings and chains are made from sterling silver.

Rachel Brown is a jeweller specialising in enamel and graphite drawn jewellery. Now working from her studio South Yorkshire after studying jewellery and silversmithing at Loughborough College of Art and Design, graduating in 1993.

Rachel has always loved sketching and doodling, pencil being her favourite medium and so this was the perfect way to explore her drawing. She has developed this simple technique using white enamel which represents a sheet of white paper. Although her work is minimal in colour, white enamel can be over-fired to produce subtle tones of yellows, blues and greens.

The addition of gold also brings a colourful element to her work. Each piece of jewellery is unique, as every piece is hand drawn. Rachel is inspired by anything and everything, a lot of her work explores the repetitive patterns and shapes seen in everyday life, from leaves on a tree to the brickwork in a building.

Kat Foreman is a contemporary jewellery designer and tutor of 3D design based in Cambridgeshire.

Within her creative practice Kat explores contrasts, connectivity and resilience through the application of porcelain, precious metals and semi precious stones. Each piece is lovingly hand made and celebrates life and love through wearable adornment.

​Kat divides her time between teaching, making and motherhood, believing each to require a more innovative approach than the last.

‘For me, working with porcelain clay is a tactile discovery. When developing a new idea I find the best method is to work instinctively, to allow the material itself to reveal its form.

I then develop a concept based on visual links and how these relate to the world around me. I continue to explore ideas and shapes within my sketchbook. I take a lot of pleasure intricately mapping out my designs considering aesthetics and wearability . It is often weeks before I have anything finalised due to the fact that each item is hand sculpted and polished. The porcelain is fired multiple times at temperatures in excess of 1200 degrees Celsius to ensure purity and strength. It is then combined with precious metals and stones to achieve the final product.’

Lawrence is behind the ethical jewellery studio Koa, based in Sully, South Wales. Koa is inspired by a love for the coast and the UK’s thriving creative community.

“Our studio is set by the water’s edge and gives us a place to pause, evaluate and enjoy life a little more. We hope to capture this feeling in each piece of handmade jewellery, reflecting the coastline and all its colours and forms.”

Koa Jewellery is made using pewter containing 100% recycled tin originating from unused and discarded electrical goods — creating beauty from waste.

Each handmade piece of jewellery is produced using a base metal of high quality UK sourced pewter. The pewter Lawrence uses is 93% Tin (all recycled) and completely lead and nickel-free. Many of the designs incorporate coloured resin detail which starts as a pure, clear liquid to which colour is added. The resin is then either dropped into the pewter casting or made as a separate piece to be incorporated into the design. Several pieces also feature beads, which are carefully selected and ethically sourced from fair trade suppliers.

Lawrence was brought up in the hamlet of Nantithet on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. follow the one year Art and Design Foundation Course at Falmouth School of Art. He gained his National Diploma in 1991 and, at the end of that year, relocated to pursue a three-year degree course in Industrial Design. He gained his First Class Degree with Honours from Cardiff Institute of H.E. in 1994.

Sue Gregor MA is a prize-winning master jeweller, she has shown her innovative floral recycled plastic jewellery nationally and internationally. She established her business in 2005 making contemporary jewellery with wildflower and leaf designs.

Every piece is individually handmade using real unique leaves and flowers to create the designs. She collects, dries and presses the foliage first, then composes the designs using her unique method. The leaves perish in the process of making, so each piece is inspired, handcrafted and unique.

All the Perspex Sue uses is 100% recycled. It is also free from volatile organic compounds and hydrofluorocarbon making it more environmentally friendly.

“It is important to me that I am not contributing to the increase of plastic waste but am doing something to re-purpose some of it into ethical, sustainable jewellery.”

Inspired by architecture, abstract art and bold geometric shapes, Elin works mainly in silver to produce modern, minimal jewellery.

Her design ethos is ‘beauty in simplicity’ and she explores repeated shape combinations and the application of texture to give her work an elegant, contemporary feel. The resulting pieces are both bold and striking whilst remaining lightweight and wearable.

Elin's debut Geometrics collection was inspired by a photograph of a ferris wheel showing how the structure was made up of a series of simple interlocking triangles. Her recent Modern Deco collection takes its cue from Art Deco architectural details with a modern take on the rectilinear style of the period.

Elin's work is made from sterling silver and hand finished to ensure clean, crisp lines and a high quality end product. Oxidised pieces are immersed in a solution to darken the surface then rinsed and lightly brushed back to give a gunmetal finish.

After graduating from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne Polytechnic with a BA Honours degree in Designer Craftsmanship, Penny began to develop her interest in pattern and its application to jewellery by making work that used patination on the surface of non-precious metals such as copper and brass.

Since 1994, she has been designing and making jewellery in the Rosehill Workshop in Brighton, Sussex, and has been specialising in hand-dyed aluminium since 2001. The attraction of this material in its use for jewellery is primarily about making permanently colourful accessories without using gem stones, but it is also an incredibly light metal making it easy to wear, and the diverse range of colours achieved whether bright intense blues, pinks and turquoises or soft subtle greys, greens and lavenders has an eternally powerful appeal to the wearer.

Penny's designs are inspired by land, sea, and skyscapes.

The jewellery is made in anodised aluminium combined with silver. Small sheets of pre-anodised aluminium are dyed freehand and the colours diluted to achieve a watercolour effect. When the ink is dry, the aluminium is immersed in boiling water to seal the colour permanently into the surface.

Once this is done the sheet is ready to be made into jewellery. The pieces are cut into shapes, either by stamping out or using a piercing saw, milled to add a texture to the surface, domed or folded and the edges are polished.

The aluminium is then combined with silver either by riveting or using folding techniques.

All the wires and chains are made from sterling silver.

Alison is a Devon based textile artist creating contemporary textile art inspired by the coast and countryside. With no formal training she took up free motion machine embroidery in 2012 and over time has gravitated towards textile art, developing her own unique style by using organza and net to give a soft watercolour feel to her work.

Working loosely from photographs, but often directly from her imagination, each piece of Alison’s work evolves as it is created. Preferring not to use a sketchbook, instead allowing her creativity to guide her as each piece develops. Colour and texture are big influences and she prefers to source upcycled textiles for their variety and individuality. Alison loves the idea that these materials can be given a new purpose, and can be appreciated in a totally different way for many more years to come.
