Designers

JANE ADAM

For more than 30 years Jane Adam has built an international reputation as a jewellery designer-maker. She has been exhibiting with Dazzle since graduating from The Royal College of Art in 1985. Her pioneering work in anodised aluminium inspired a new jewellery movement in Britain and abroad. Her work in precious metal and stones builds on this experience to create original and sensuous forms in silver and gold. Her work is in more than 20 public collections including The V&A, Goldsmiths Company and The Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh.dia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and USA.

AILLIE ANDERSON

Aillie Anderson creates dynamic, minimal adornment and small scale sculpture using a combination of uniquely textured, precisely scored silver and hand cast jesmonite forms. Born and based in Glasgow, Aillie draws inspiration from the built environment, particularly the architecture and industrial features of the city and explores scale, texture and materials to highlight her appreciation of these overlooked details and reinterpret them into treasured pieces of jewellery and objects.

EVE BALASHOVA

Eve Balashova explores repetition, movement and manipulation of shape and form in her statement jewellery. She combines strict geometry with soft flowing curves to create unique, vibrant and energetic pieces.

EGLE BANYTE

Egle Banyte's work focuses on the geometry of everyday life. Recognising that we are surrounded and yet often oblivious to geometry, her work aims at re-engaging its beholders with the mathematics of life, the patterns of the material world.

DONNA BARRY

Welsh born. Trained and based in Edinburgh. Donna works with precious metals, mainly silver, and semi precious stones. Outlets include Byard Gallery, Cambridge, Mobilia Gallery, Boston, Ruthin Craft Centre, Wales, Bircham Gallery, Dundee Contemporary Arts and SH Jewellery, Edinburgh.

ISABELLA BEDLINGTON

Isabella creates timeless jewellery impacted by history and belief. Every piece is handcrafted in precious metals utilising the torus shape as her reoccurring motif. She creates minimalist everyday jewellery with a strong aesthetic impact, as well as one-off statement pieces with intricate patterns and textures.

JESSICA BRIGGS

Cotswold Knit is a slow fashion brand of artisan knitwear and accessories, designed by Anna Wheeler. Inspired by the seasonal colours of the British countryside, Anna focuses on meticulous craftsmanship and playful creative design. All knits are crafted in the UK from natural fibres.

BECKY CROW

My work has always had a strongly illustrative leaning. It grows out of drawings and sketches some observational, some imagined.
