Jacqueline runs a well established business designing and making her own range of jewellery and silverware.
Twenty five years of working and experimenting in precious metals has resulted in each piece being unique.

Rose loves exploring materials and as such have found that jewellery is a wonderful way of doing this since the scale allows you to experiment and develop pieces relatively quickly. Her current range is very much based around the use of ceramic material which has many possibilities for creating three dimensional shapes, interesting surface textures and patterns. The application of colour through decorating techniques and glazing also offers interesting possibilities. She is inspired by the material itself and the manufacturing processes you can use such as slip casting. She finds that capturing textures, from perishable items such as lace, in the surface of the clay quite alluring and have developed a range of work called Porcelain and Lace around this idea. Colour and pattern have always been attractive to her and this is evident in many of her ranges.

The process begins in her sketch book. She then draws the designs on a computer in solid black and white, the black areas being silver. She send this with a sheet of sterling silver to a company who photo etch the design onto the metal so that the white areas of the design become recessed. She then cuts out the seperate pieces, files and finishes the edges and fill the recesses with opalescent white enamel. The excess enamel has to be ground back using a diamond abrasive before each piece is then refired to glaze the surface. Then she will apply a transfer and the piece is fired once again and more transfers may be applied to create a layered affect.

Blandine’s work explores her interest in creatures associated with the British countryside – both in a domestic setting and within the wider landscape. Her larger, stoneware pieces have a very bold, sculptural appearance. The small porcelain pieces are more detailed and  representational.

She is fascinated by the way that a simple sculptural form can be totally altered by the addition of a creature.
Depending on the size and character of that animal – the effect can range from: giving it a sense of scale – to: completely disguising the original form.
