Hendrike creates jewellery which has a clear, understated and elegant aesthetic. She is fascinated by lines and patterns in other art forms or which may occur in nature. These find expression in her pieces through the application of gold patterns on silver backgrounds. The pieces are designed and hand-made by Hendrike in her Hertfordshire studio.
She believes passionately in the value and appeal of the hand-made and to avoid over-production keeps the production small and sells her work through carefully selected galleries, her online shop and in-person fairs.
She highly values the direct contact with customers and the opportunity to relay to them the processes, materials and ideas involved in the making of my pieces.
Environmental sustainability and an ethical working practice are paramount considerations in her practice and constitute an on-going process of reflection and improvement. These principles guide her selection of materials, chemicals and working practices.
