Salt from the Sea

I've always loved raising metal, some of my favourites pieces of work from college are vessels made of copper and silver, but I never went down the route of making pieces to sell as I felt that the initial expense of buying large amounts of silver was a real gamble when speculating whether there were buyers out there. I mean, there is always a jewellery buyer looking to purchase a present, but silver collectors are few and far between.

So the other day I had an idea, which meant purchasing a very expensive drill bit and my first silversmithing stake. A real gamble on my part but I'm really glad I did. It just shows you how your gut feelings never let you down.

Pricing jewellery

Much has been written and spoken about recently on the rising cost of silver in the media; the political landscape coupled with the new industrial demands for the material has created a perfect storm.  The leap in cost crept up slowly until the middle of 2025 and then pounced on jewellers right before Christmas.  Especially those, like me who have varying requirements of silver purchases which makes it more difficult to notice the rise as each purchase is slightly different in weight.  On top of that, I personally haven’t reassessed my prices since I initially calculated the costs for me to sell wholesale, when I attended Scotland’s Trade Fair at the SECC in 2024.  To work out the costs, I had carefully timed myself making various items in the workshop, then made the assumption that I could probably make more than one item in an hour, and priced accordingly.  The mistake I made at that point was not taking in to consideration the extra time it may take to cut an...

Marble from the beach

"The sea does not reward those who are to anxious, to greedy, or too impatient. To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach- waiting for a gift from the sea." A Gift FromThe Sea. This quote resonated with me as it wasn't until I read it that I realised that I never dig for that special something on the beach. Like I've said before, there is absolutely nothing of interest on my local beach at the foot of my garden, but once in a while something catches my eyes and the excitement of picking up a piece of glass or pottery never wanes. Usually it turns out to be either broken shell or a piece of plastic. This ring is for a new group exhibition in Thurso gallery on 23rd september 2016 then Wick afterwards. I am drawing on personal experience and this particular piece places the sea washed marble as something very s...

Scratchboarding

 I've been going round the houses and back again recently trying all sorts of mediums and experiments with materials to create an effect which mimics a printmaking technique.  But in the end, there's nothing better than to open the packaging of a fresh pristine scratchboard with the confidence that the surface is not going to let you down. With scratchboard you need to work from a photo, I've tried many times in the past to go freestyle and it never goes well.  The technique is popular in America where artists can take months to complete a picture using a tattoo needle.  A sharp clear image in imperative and keeping things neat and pristine allows the final piece to look it's best.  Keeping things clean is not my natural way of working and I usually like to work quick and expressively, you'll see this with my life drawing sketches.  But saying that, having a set drawing outline to work with is very relaxing for me as it means I'm basically colouring in, in ...
