Handmade Renaissance
The Contrast between the ergonomic convenience of modern
design, and the intricate (although redundant) detail in craftsmanship
throughout history.
Objects used to be designed with furious detail, people’s lives
dedicated to one trade. A somewhat brutal existence but the result is the
creation of objects that were a gallery of human concentration and dedication.

Handmade Renaissance
With the rise of capitalism and globalisation these values
were replaced by products that were designed at the convenience of the
manufacturer, which impressively birthed creatives that innovated product
design with purposeful engineering that can still exist in profit-based market
whilst being stylistically beautiful.
"The Handamde Renaissance"
I want to make meaningful stuff. I loved art growing up and became very
inspired by the depth of fine art especisally in the renaissance period, i
wanted to take the same dedication to detail and technical process and apply it
to a modern theme or idea. As i got older i became consumed by the abstract
world of art, and the act of using form shape and colour to create an emotion
or feeling. These two creative processes have met at a junction where i feel i
am now, using form and function to create a product. This element of design has
helped me create products that feel abstract but still have a familiar purpose.
Ive been making jewellery since i was 18 in 2016 when i started my
apprenticeship, 4 years working under a high end manufacturing jeweller and now
5 years (as of April 2024) working on my own brand identity and forming my own
technical and visual style. Ive learned alot in my jewellery journey and the
skills have really helped me experiment with some ideas im proud of.
