Kate’s jewellery is based around the multiple use of textured silver units that have developed through experimentation; gathering ideas at the workbench and observing details in nature and urban decay which tend to influence the surface of a piece. These units are combined with semi-precious beads, climbing cord and cork to add colour and create mood. By altering the scale and pattern formation she creates a range of pieces from single unit earrings to elaborate one-off necklaces.

After studying Jewellery and Silversmithing at Bradford and Loughborough she completed an MA in Jewellery at the Royal College of Art in 1996 and set up a studio in Limehouse having received the 1000th Crafts Council grant. She exhibited both home and abroad for several years and has had work featured in several films, TV series and magazines. She is a founder member of the Buckinghamshire Craft Guild where she is gallery stylist. Kate is also a member of the Oxfordshire Craft Guild and the newly established Modern Makers Collective.
