Joanne makes contemporary textural jewellery inspired by the surfaces and patinas on found objects with a nod to ancient jewellery. The creative process is experimental, layering surfaces, precious metals and gemstones to create rich, timeless pieces.
As well as her range of ready to wear jewellery, Joanne loves to work with clients to create special pieces designed just for them. This may be repurposing their loved but unused jewellery into something new, or creating a piece that is brand new.
“I am a passionate maker and love to create pieces with craftsmanship and quality at the heart. My love of making extends to the materials I use, I use recycled materials and ethically sourced gemstones wherever possible.”
Joanne has a Masters Degree from the Royal College of Art and now works from her co-run Hampshire studio and shop Winchester Makers in the historic city of Winchester.
