Statement

“Attention to detail and quality workmanship is very important to me throughout the design and creation process.

My interest in materials and processes helps me further my work; I develop my ideas best through making and experimentation.

Themes of concealment, translucence and memory evolve in my work; I focus on shape, line and layers to make each piece distinct.”


Commissions

Commissions include Kate’s signature pieces and work in precious metals (sliver and gold) for a variety of clients. As all jewellery is handmade, Kate is able to offer a unique service of designing and making individual pieces that are specially commissioned.
