Amy Stringer's 5 Favourites from Find a Maker
Jeweller Amy Stringer fuses industrial and precious materials to create bold, one off contemporary jewellery. Amy primarily combines cement with striking metalwork, nature and gemstones to challenge society’s perception of ‘precious’.
Find out more about Amy and view her work here.
I discovered Lisa's work on Find a Maker and I'm in love! We share a love for Brutalist architecture and the idea of her practical items stacking into sculpture is genious.
I have known Fran's work for a while now and I just love the texture and sculptural forms in her silver work. She also beautifully transfers these forms into her jewellery pieces which is a great skill!
I had to include Sophie in this list, I own 4 of her prints and two pieces of her ceramic work. I find her designs so homely and comforting, they're a joy.
Another Find a Maker discovery, Daphne's strong shapes and material use is just beautiful!
There is such an amazing group of jewellers on Find a Maker already, I could have listed so many! But Rachel's recent work has really appealed to me, her beautiful use of graphite and enamel works so brilliantly with the gold details, I love!
