Emma,
is a contemporary designer living and working from her home studio in Scotland. She creates handmade silver and resin jewellery, developing a mixture of collections and one of a kind pieces. All inspired from a love of buildings, bicycles, lines and colour.
To compliment her jewellery Emma has a range of cards, prints and coasters, designing items to be enjoyed both on the body and in the home.
Inspiration
Emma has a love of city street scenes and surrounding areas, both growing up in Edinburgh and travelling to different countries. Taking in the colours, textures and scale these new places offer. Buildings, ornate windows, doors and brickwork have become a characteristic focus and starting point for her work.
Photographing, sketching and documenting these findings are the first steps to creating her work. Playing around with simplicity and line developing items of jewellery, drawings, prints, coasters and cards.
Style
It’s all about lines and a pop of colour!
Emma aims to capture the little quirky details that stand out to her. Looking at where to build up lines and choosing where to add the right amount of colour. Her drawings are the place she can add a burst of colour in a way she has yet to achieve in her jewellery.
Enthused by the free flowing energy her drawings contain; she uses sliver and oxidized silver wire in her jewellery to create linear structures in order to replicate the same quality as her drawn lines.
Handmade
All work is designed and made by Emma from her home studio.
Whether its making work as part of a collection or a one off piece, making everything by hand means no piece is exactly the same. Emma likes to work with a mixture of materials, trying out different processes and learning new techniques when developing her work.
This is reflected in the price as each piece is individually created.
