	LUCY ANDERSON Lucy Anderson creates sculptural works to wear. She plays with geometric shape and pattern in her designs and her pieces are often inspired by her love of fashion, art and design.
	KAROLINA BAINES Edinburgh-based designer/maker, Karolina Baines views jewellery as sculptures that move with the wearer, Karolina seeks to create engaging visual and tactile experiences that instil deep personal connections, with a deft use of texture, colour and linework.
	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.
	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 Originally a textile designer, Jessica uses ombinations of patterned and textured silver, selectively fusing it with gold whilst often adding depth through part oxidation.

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.
	AMANDA DOUGHTY Amanda is a jeweller with a love of architecture, photography and details in the urban landscape. She is interested in repetition, shapes, colours, forms and texture, creating a unique collection of jewellery from these observations. Work is created at the bench, also being inspired by the materials she uses in different geometric forms.
