Little Bird Studio 22
Hello,
I'm Caroline
I am a
jeweller based near Leeds West Yorkshire, having had a fantastic day at the
first Yorkshire Best in York, I'll be returning on the 9th December and I can't
wait. It was an absolute pleasure to meet everyone at the Hospitium.
I have
recently returned to my first love of silversmithing and jewellery designs
after a number of years employed in industry, and have set up a cosy home based
workshop which I love.
My work
has many facets, being a combination of traditional hand worked metal skills
and innovative material development. I don't have a fixed style; my inspiration
comes from so many different sources. I start with the story I want to tell, I
like taking notes, collecting things, taking hundreds of pictures, and also
researching symbols and peculiar details, often I find the incidental detail
holds greater interest. I generally
sketch and make models until I get to the final designs. My range has developed
into an eclectic mix of styles and now includes some cute plush items. Be sure
to visit Yorkshire Best in December for some exciting and exclusive Christmas
products!
More
recently I have focused upon 17th century traditional spoon jewellery which
interestingly mirrors our 21st century recycling message. Combining old values
with new design concept has been a pleasure, check out my cutlery driven
jewellery for some old favourites as well as some new ideas. I work in various
metals for these from sterling, to copper, to the harder to work steel, but
either way it has been a real pleasure to explore and revive such old
traditions.
My
designs are created with personalisation in mind, from capturing a child's tiny
fingerprints in pure silver to hand stamping messages on bangles, rings, and
spoons, many of my pieces focus on individual statements. Commissions are
always exciting as they bring with them new inspiration.
If you would like take a look at the current range or have a personal design in mind, I can be contacted via my etsy store
