I create kiln-fired enamelled jewellery and various items like dishes, house number plaques, and upcycled objects. I also accept commissions for larger mixed media sculptures. I offer a two-hour introductory enamelling session for individuals and small groups (2-3 people) in my studio, where you can make and take home your own piece. Prior booking is essential.
