24.01.2022 It's spring, which means the second annual High Country Writers Festival is happening and I get to share my silversmithing workspace with wordsmiths. That means forging 'quietly' during author talks, but it also means I get to sit in the box seat while some amazing books are discussed at The Makers Shed. Check out the full program, with free sessions taking place across Glen Innes Highlands. Bookings are essential via: https://highcountrywritersfestival.com/

15.01.2022 Having never made a pot before... this came out today It’s only 2.3 cm high (so tiny) and I was wondering what the hell it could be used for... then a friend came into the studio and suggested a tooth fairy vessel! Perfect.
12.01.2022 Spooky face time This brooch is constructed with pure silver shaped from beneath using the technique repoussé and back-filled with resin to give it strength and rigidity. It’s then set in a pure silver bezel and a sterling back. It’s a one-off. 3cm in length and $140 (plus p&h if needed).
10.01.2022 Hot off the bench today... this is a stunning cognac zircon (a completely natural stone from Queensland). The mark of a good stone is the way the light seems to shine from within! This gem certainly throws out beautiful light and colour. Set in sterling and fine silver, it’s size T (20mm inside diameter) and is $170 including p&h.

03.01.2022 I’m sure you’re all aware that I like to repurpose, well... EVERYTHING... so this won’t come as a surprise! My beautiful friend, Max, came to the shed with a wooden box containing these gorgeous tiles making up a vintage matching game They’re so fabulous as they are that I’m loathe to gild the lily and have adapted them as brooches exactly as they are, but am thinking of setting some in silver too These are available now for $25 each (plus p&h) and measure 6x4 cm.
