My goal is to create ceramic jewellery that is large-scale and visually impactful, while simultaneously still light-weight and stylish. The reason why I am drawn to jewellery making is that I have a deep interest in functional ceramics and fashion, and I love to create intricate pieces that are still practical to wear. My concept for these works stems from hydrangeas, particularly from their colours and their complex structures which play a big part in the construction of my pieces. I fell in love with hydrangeas as a result of learning about how the colour of the plant changes due to the ph. of the soil, and that even one plant can have an array of colours ranging from deep blues to pale pinks. I chose porcelain paperclay and limoges porcelain to create these works due to the vividness of the clay when coloured using nano-stains and the delicate and diaphanous qualities of the clay.
