Artist list

Xuang Fang, Grace Horler, Anna Peake, Tamzin Schneeberger, Louisa Warren
We discuss where tradition meets innovation and where staying true to craftsmanship breaches the gap into the unknown. When to honour tradition and when to challenge convention. Constantly questioning the boundaries of jewellery and the ever-merging definitions. Despite studying under one roof, in a workshop no bigger than a swimming pool we couldn’t have all taken more opposite paths allowing ourselves to truly indulge in what inspires us as individuals the most.
