About

After 15 years working as a graphic designer I was looking for new ways to express my creativity - using my hands to create was something I had missed, designing mostly on screen. I started using polymer clay as a medium which turned out to be a very versatile and accessible material - I was hooked!
I enjoy the process of mixing clay to create new colour combinations, inspired by modern design - graphic, fashion and interiors. Experimenting with shapes and techniques and being guided by my own creative intuition.
Quality and durability are of huge importance, so I only create small batches or one-off pieces, each piece made with love, thought and attention to detail. I use quality, non toxic and hypoallergenic materials to make sure your pieces can be enjoyed for years.
I love creating colourful, fun but timeless designs that will hopefully brighten your outfit and your day.

The process
Every piece I create starts by mixing colours. The colours I create are hugely influenced by how I feel at the time of making. All colours are mixed by combining a few base colours of polymer clay.
Once I am happy with the colour I roll it into a slab which is cured in the oven. After curing, I cut out the shapes with a scalpel knife. They are then sanded, polished and in some cases carved and painted. To finish them off, holes are drilled to attach findings.
Then, earring posts are attached with liquid polymer clay and need another round in the oven. Once all assembled they are ready to be photographed and packaged to go to their new home.
