about me
|
After completing a BA Hons 'Silversmithing and Metalwork' at Camberwell College of Arts in London in 2005, Lucy now works full-time as a jeweller and silversmith in Dorset. Lucy’s primary workshop where she makes and sells her work is based at the Town Mill in Lyme Regis. Since 2020 she has a second workshop at her home in Bridport. The sea and beach along the West Dorset coast have always been a source of inspiration for Lucy. She spends many hours beach-combing and photographing the colours, forms and textures found along the coast to inform her work. Several collections within her work involve clustering things together, reminiscent of the random collection of seashore treasure found in rock pools. She says, “My jewellery collections are primarily concerned with triggering thoughts and memories of the seaside. I try to capture patterns, textures and forms from the beach and translate these into metal; primarily in silver but also in gold too. There is something beautiful about seeing a natural form like a shell made in a precious metal. We all have a connection with the sea and I like to think that through my work, everyone can have a little bit of seaside to take home.” |
