Biography
Anthea is a trained metalsmith, artist and a recycling guru. She hates waste and loves metal. So she combines these passions to create curious works of art and jewellery using recycled copper and brass with the addition of interesting bits & bobs that have been squirrelled away over the years.
inspiration
Anthea’s creations are unique due to the nature of the raw materials used. She loves to find inspiration in the unwanted and is absolutely certain that everything can be repurposed and have a 2nd life. Look out for textures, light bulbs, corks, door knobs, car parts....the list continues to grow!
medium
Anthea chooses hand riveting over soldering (where possible) as a preferred method of joining parts. This ensures any natural patina, dinks, dents and character from a previous life, are all preserved in the finished piece.
Semi precious gemstones add a splash of colour to her jewellery and compliment the metal's natural patina.
