Vanessa Sharp
I am a silversmith and jeweller working in London and in the rural New Forest in Hampshire.
My work leans towards structure and order, but it refuses to be bound by those constraints and it takes a more natural and organic feel inspired by the textures, patterns and shapes of the flora and fauna of the New Forest and its coastline.
Working mainly in silver my pieces are textured and formed and often incorporate other metals, semi-
I make jewellery and small piecework, including cutlery and tableware.
I enjoy the collaborative process of working on one offs for personal commissions, but also produce collections for exhibition.
