Hi jewellery/sustainability enthusiasts!

I’ve written all about my ideas behind The Treasury and my contemporary jewellery practice in ‘Tales of Adventure’ which has been published in Craft Australia this month – Check it out here.

I’d really love to hear your thoughts on the topic if you want to leave a comment or email me.

PS I’m currently taking bookings for The Treasury on May the 7th, 2-4.30pm at the Nicholas building, email me to make a booking.
