My jewellery on display

I am pleased that an example of my work is being displayed at the Mary Ward Centre , where I teach. The centre is running a tutor exhibition this month to showcase the work of the creative arts tutors. I chose to display the Herbarium pendant that I made on the masterclass with Anna Mazon  as it is a great example of the type of work you can make with silver clay that would not really be possible with traditional silversmithing. There is a lot of interesting work on display from my colleagues - a talented bunch! Display cabinet
