For Sure brooch 2004Exhibitions...

In addition to the above retail outlets, I am exhibiting this year with Klustre, the Nelson Jewellery collective, at Jewel Beetle (above Kitts Shoes), Trafalgar Street, Nelson from the 5th - 25th September 2004.

In June/July 2004 I have a commissioned brooch in a show at the Suter Gallery in Nelson. Contact them on (03) 548 4699. The brooch, titled "For Sure", is shown on the right.

Peter Gibbs wrote of the Klustre 2001 exhibition, "There are far too few opportunities to see the best of Nelson contemporary jewellery in one place...". The exhibition has once again been a great success: read the rest of his enthusiastic review from "The Evening Mail", which is accompanied by pictures of the jewellery collection I exhibited there.

About Pete...

I was born in St.Peter Port, Guernsey (which makes me a Channel Islander) in 1950 (which makes me very ancient and venerable).

A jewellery maker for eighteen years, a jewellery designer for twelve, I graduated from Nelson Polytech School of Visual Art in 1995.
