Jane is a silver jewellery designer and maker based in Gwynedd, where she has lived close to the coast for over 30 years. Deeply inspired by the natural beauty of the sea, Jane's work is particularly influenced by the delicate and intricate forms of shells found on Llandanwg Beach, a location she holds dear.

 

Drawing from the unique textures and shapes of these shells, Jane transforms them into exquisite pieces of wearable art. Her craftsmanship brings the organic beauty of the coastline into her designs, capturing the fluidity and detail of nature's creations in solid silver. Each piece tells a story of the sea and the shells she finds, showcasing her passion for the natural world and her ability to translate its wonders into timeless jewellery.

 

For this exhibition, Jane is working on a collection of silver jewellery inspired by the historical and spiritual significance of the North Welsh coastline, centred around The Llwybr Cadfan.
