About Me

Before joining Crafty Hen, I was an Art and Craft teacher at a SEN school. I absolutely love celebrating with crafters who enjoy making memories with their special friends and families. It's such a joy to be part of these meaningful moments.

My Favourite Things

I love painting, using Japanese Ink. Also I play ukulele badly but I love it.

My Area of Expertise

Jewellery! I am a contemporary jeweller, creating one-of-a-kind pieces inspired by shapes in nature and sculpture. Using Mitsuro Hikime, a traditional Japanese lost wax technique, I let the fluidity of beeswax guide my designs, embracing the beauty of negative space, or “Ma”.
