Meet Farah, who has been making jewellery since she was a teenager. With a degree in 3D design and metalwork, she has been selling her designs for over 20 years and teaching metalwork and jewellery making for much of that time.
Farah draws inspiration for her jewellery from a variety of sources, including a close study of botany, travels around the UK and beyond, and everyday objects found in her surroundings. Her designs reflect a blend of natural elements and personal experiences, resulting in unique and captivating pieces.
Ethics and sustainability are at the heart of Farah's business practices. She prioritises the use of recycled materials to reduce environmental impact and ensures that her gold is sourced from Fairtrade suppliers, benefiting the communities associated with the mines.
Farah works from her small but welcoming studio, which doubles as a showroom for her creations. Her passion extends beyond creating jewellery; she also enjoys teaching workshops to share her expertise with others.
In summary, Farah brings years of experience, creativity and a commitment to sustainability to her work.
My daughter and I really enjoyed the workshop with Farah. We learned several techniques which were all clearly explained. We are very happy with earrings and appreciate how much skill goes into jewellery making.
Thanks very much Farah
