Liz trained as a silversmith, but for years she has worked as a freelance jeweller, using mainly silver as my medium. Becoming bored with the colour limitation of silver, she experimented with lots of materials to use with silver and finally found glass was what she was searching for. The limitless colours fascinated her and for the last 10 years the focus of her work has been glass, with silver to set it off.
Liz likes to make up her own designs for jewellery with the glass, as she visualize the finished piece whilst making the component beads. She tends to work to themes, building up a collection around an idea - then change tack as new visual stimuli inspire her!
