Angela graduated from Herefordshire College of Art in 1999 with a BA (Hons) in Design Crafts, specialising in jewellery and metalwork. She then trained to teach Design Technology and over the years has enjoyed teaching High School students in Herefordshire and New Zealand.  Angela has been involved with local community art projects for a number of years both as an organiser and as a teacher in a variety of mediums.

Inspiration is drawn from happy times spent exploring the riverbanks, meadows, woods and hills around her home in the Golden Valley.  Movement in and of water, birds, animals, insects, flowers – often just a fleeting glimpse captured, the essence of the subject to be developed into a piece of jewellery or metalwork.

Angela’s work is constantly evolving with new materials and techniques being explored to bring her ideas to life. She takes great pride in producing completely handmade work.  Each piece is a ‘one off’ and has its own unique character.
