Angela works in silver and uses a variety of techniques to create surface texture and embellishment. Manipulating silver by doming, folding, hammering and rolling allows her to produce three-dimensional pieces, especially hollow beads. Her jewellery usually incorporates semi-precious gemstones. She particularly likes stones with matt finishes and interesting markings and inclusions. Recently she has been working with Lava, Matt Picasso Jasper and Tourmalinated Quartz.
Angela makes small,themed,evolving ranges,limited editions and one-off pieces.
Her work is sold in galleries and shops. She also exhibits at Craft and Design fairs.
