I discovered jewellery making in 2002 when I bought my first kit.  I can’t claim that the end results were great, however I was very proud of what I had made and was hooked!  Whilst still working in the corporate world, each year I would focus on mastering a new technique, attending courses, completing lots of self-learning and practise, practise, practise to develop my skills.  During this time jewellery making became my dream job and in 2009 I left my IT career and took the plunge into full-time jewellery making & teaching.
