MAKER OF THE DAY
Lindsey Mann Jewellery
I am a Wiltshire based jeweller, in business for over 20 years. I create playful jewellery which has a soft industrial aesthetic, peppered with a hint of modern nostalgia.
My love of colour and print have continually remained at the forefront of my work, evoking a mood, feeling or emotion and bringing joy to those who wear my jewellery.
‘Absorbing a visual library from the world around me I translate my ideas into wearable pieces of jewellery as well as objects. The current theme with botanical influences stemmed initially from a bundle of gardening diaries found in my current house, left by a long-gone previous resident. In my mind I have built up a picture of his garden from a bygone era and parts of that picture are slowly emerging as pieces of jewellery.’
Working predominantly with anodised aluminium sheet, I use the metal as a canvas for vibrant screen prints, before combining them with silver and the occasional stone to form wearable compositions. Focusing on low-tech processes and traditional metalwork techniques my passion for making comes alive in the one-off pieces I make.
My work has long been represented by galleries throughout the UK as well as exhibiting during events such as the Craft Councils Chelsea Crafts Fair and Origin. In 2023 I made my debut at Goldsmiths' Fair in London and MAD about Jewelry in New Yorks Museum of Arts and Design.
A number of pieces feature in books and journals and my own book ‘Coloured Aluminium Jewellery: design & make’, was published by A&C Black in 2010.
I have enjoyed teaching alongside my jewellery practice since 2004 regularly teaching specialist workshops in my studio and at West Dean College.

The Capital of Craft Podcast with Rosa Harradine
Welcome to Season 5 of The Capital of Craft: Wales Special.
To celebrate the first Craft Festival Wales at Cardigan Castle, it was a real pleasure to interview Rosa Harradine for The Capital of Craft podcast.
Rosa is based in Carmarthen and makes brooms and brushes. We talk about her creative life and how she began making brooms. It's a lovely story and I hope you enjoy listening.
You can meet Rosa and 80 more makers at Craft Festival Wales from September 6-8, 2024 at Cardigan Castle. Rosa is also one of our demonstrators and you can also find her work in the Craft Festival Town Trail, which runds from August 30 to September 20th.
