Women-owned

I’m an artist, jeweller, and lifelong maker based in Melbourne. I’ve spent years working across textiles, metal, drawing, sculpture, and all kinds of materials — I’ve always been happiest when I’m making something with my hands.

My pathway into making wasn’t through just one craft. I’ve always moved between disciplines, learning techniques wherever I could find them and becoming fascinated by the way materials behave, transform, and carry meaning. Over time, that evolved into a contemporary art practice alongside jewellery making, teaching, and workshop development.

I’m currently undertaking a PhD at RMIT, where my research explores creative practice, material thinking, and metaphor through making. While my academic work is important to me, teaching workshops offers something different and equally valuable: the opportunity to help people feel capable, absorbed, and connected through practical hands-on experience.

I genuinely love teaching. One of the most rewarding moments is watching someone arrive nervous or unsure of themselves and then gradually settle into the process, becoming focused, confident, and proud of what they’ve made. I’m known for creating a calm, welcoming environment where people feel comfortable trying something new without pressure or intimidation.

My Windsor studio is what I like to call a one-room beginning, middle, and finishing school — you walk in, everything is prepared and ready to go, and you leave having made something real.

Alongside my studio practice, I’ve taught across a range of creative contexts and have extensive experience guiding beginners through unfamiliar tools and processes. My workshops are carefully structured, highly supportive, and focused on giving people a genuine sense of achievement, whether they’re making a sterling silver spinner ring, working with gourds, or exploring textiles and handcraft.

Something many people don’t realise is how meditative and absorbing hands-on making can be. Working with materials has a way of slowing people down, shifting attention, and creating a rare kind of focus that’s increasingly hard to find. That atmosphere is something I care about deeply in the studio.

My workshops combine technical guidance, contemporary craft practice, and thoughtful hospitality — good tools, beautiful materials, tea, coffee, homemade cake, and enough time and support for people to properly enjoy the process.
