Jennifer contributes to all undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Jewellery and Silversmithing. Across all year groups she aims to support a cross-disciplinary, student-centred learning experience whilst maintaining a proficient, practical understanding of the making processes and materials at the core of the Jewellery and Silversmithing discipline. ![]() Jennifer is a graduate of The Glasgow School of Art and Royal College of Art in London. Her work is quite often informed by research into historical sources, which is undertaken alone or in partnership with museums, national organisations, historians or Archaeologists. Off-shoot ideas, themes or techniques from these projects are adapted into bespoke one-off pieces or commercial small-scale production ranges of products. She sells and exhibits her work nationally and internationally in museums, design shops/festivals and art fairs. She works with commercial as well as private clients and regularly collaborates with Artists, Designers, Historians on practice-led research projects. Jennifer designs and makes jewellery and homeware in a range of materials. She aspires to produce work that can leave anyone viewing it uncertain as to how it was made and hopes to demonstrate that new technological approaches can blend quite naturally into a piece of work as a means of enhancing tradition rather than replacing it completely. The work Jennifer produces would not be possible without her experience of both traditional and current digital methods. Jennifer is an award-winning multi-disciplinary designer maker, researcher and educator. She uses a diverse range of materials in her works and as part of her teaching. Her original training focussed on jewellery, silversmithing and general metal work and these disciplines still remain at the core of what she teaches and her own practice. Jennifer has applied the skills established through a foundation in jewellery and silversmithing in various capacities elsewhere in the design sector.Īlthough the objects she makes and the materials she uses may vary with each piece, each series is underpinned by her use of both traditional methods and digital technologies developed on Jewellery and Silversmithing programmes.
