LESLEY JANE JEWELLERY

Silver, copper and enamelled jewellery and small metalwork, using reclaimed and recycled metal

I work in copper, silver and enamel and use recycled or reclaimed metal, wherever possible. My work is frequently nostalgic, taking inspiration from book illustrations, maps, vintage ceramics and fabrics. I like to combine traditional metal working & enamelling techniques with collage and digital design tools. I sell my work online via my Folksy store, through selected shops and galleries as well as at events and markets throughout the year.

I also run small-group workshops in enamelling and jewellery making, although these are currently on hold until it is safe to do them again. Students at the workshops enjoy the creative atmosphere, the opportunity to use a range of metal working tools and the chance to learn a new skill or just try something different. I love seeing the range of things that students make as well as the ideas and creativity that they bring to the workshops. The small group sessions ensure that everyone gets the attention they deserve and everyone goes home with one or more completed items of jewellery.
