Lily Mae Studios
|
A picky occasional jewellery wearer who discovered the magic of silver clay and was hooked. At first I made a few pieces for myself and then for friends and family as gifts. In the midst of the pandemic, I decided to take the plunge and do something I’d always wanted to do; run my own business. I set up my first online shop with Etsy and Pinch of Silver Design was born. Selling online, and in person when the restrictions were lifted, I had a very successful but mad first Christmas. Making lots of mistakes and learning all the time; both business wise and creatively. I then embarked on the PMC certificate courses with Helen Drye and Julie Holt and spent a year improving my skills with silver clay and challenging my creativity. A move to the UK was afoot and with it a name change in honour of my grandmothers with a nod to my increasing obsession with reproducing nature in silver. Lily Mae Studios was born. Working out of a small studio in Oxfordshire I have started to use some traditional silversmithing methods in addition to my silver clay work. It’s not hard to get inspiration for new pieces when I’m out walking. Email: [email protected] Website : www.lilymaestudios.co.uk Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/lilymaestudios |
