I have been lucky enough to be included in a number of paper and jewellery publications. So passionate about my chosen field, I chose to share some of passion and techniques for all things paper, by writing a book on the subject! My jewellery book offers a series of masterclasses by experts who work with paper, and features examples of work from a breathtaking array of over 100 international makers.
Techniques covered include encasing, crocheting, moulding, sculpting, cutting and binding, with paper types ranging from origami papers, to found papers, to paper yarn.
The jewellery book features the work of new and established jewellers including world renowned Wendy Ramshaw, David Watkins and Nel Linssen. It also looks further afield to fashion designers Jum Nakao and Michael Cepress and paper artist Rob Ryan.
