What attracted you to your craft?

As a child I was very interested in making, I was compiling small 3D sculptural forms with hand stitched stuffed felt when I was in Primary school. I was inquisitive and I made my own clothes, perfume and jewellery. During my BA I etched and sculpted and I still do. As a printmaker I explored the reusing of my etched plates, this led me into small vessels and Jewellery.

What does you typical day look like?

It looks creative. A careful balance between my print studio and jewellery bench.

Does your product have an environmental focus?

Ghost & Bonesetter uses certified recycled metals, copper from the print process and recycled silver and golds from Cookson London. We use recycled paper and card for our wrap, packaging and presentation.

What is the USP (unique selling point) for your products?

Distinctive jewellery hand made by the artist in her small Belfast studio using recycled metals, steeped in both historical and contemporary narrative.

Where do you find your inspiration for designs?

Irish history and folklore

Please can you provide a little more info on how your interest in design started and
developed?

As a young explorer and maker.

Do you have any favourite items in the collection?

I really enjoy making larger etched pieces which I often refer to as the heirloom
collection. Statement pieces, Pendants, Cuffs, etched rings with one-off organic stones….
Earrings.

How would you summarise your collection in a few sentences or words?

A jewellery brand that makes each wearer feel unique.

Where would you like to take your design collection?

Making more one-off pieces, having the freedom to explore and create
new things.
