Brief Summary
Hi I'm Anna…. I’m a Jewellery designer maker and I’m based in a small town in Leicestershire.
I make beautiful silver and leather jewellery by hand using traditional techniques, each piece I make from sterling silver and soft leather in my own little studio where I design, make and drink lots of tea!
Inspirations comes from many things, but mainly walking thought the woods, I love the way that different mosses and fungi grow, evolve and live in harmony together along a woodland bank.
Encasing the soft leather into my pieces creates a fresh approach to my jewellery and it gives a tactile element for the wearer to enjoy.
Each piece I make is unique and something I hope you will treasure, whether it is bought as a gift for a special occasion or just as a treat for yourself!
I hope you enjoy looking through my work and if you have any special requirements or would like to discuss using different colour leather then please get in touch.
 
Professional Experience
Since graduating from my Jewellery Design and Silversmithing degree, I have developed my work into four ranges and exploring more options by combining silver with soft leather. My current collections are all based on the symbiosis of plants, how two beings can grow together in one space. I am intrigued by the way that moss grows and wraps itself around anything that sits still for long enough, and how fungi grows around a tree trunk. My aim is to interpret this in my work by mixing two different mediums together.
