Fionna Hesketh | Jeweller at The Gloucestershire Guild Of Craftsmen

Fionna Hesketh:
"I have been making and selling my Jewellery nationally for 28 years. I trained in Fine Jewellery using precious metals at Central School of Art, London, where I received various awards for my work.
More recently, I have been researching and working with non-traditional enamel techniques, using both industrial, and Jewellers’ vitreous enamel on a variety of metals such as copper, steel, and silver.
General themes and inspiration which run through my work are notions of delicacy and fragility; mark-making influenced by the landscape and materials; and the strangeness of materials when seen up close and out of context.
As a maker, I believe in the importance of the hand-made mark, as evidence of the creative process and the action of the maker.
I continue to use my Fine Jewellery skills in my new work as well as with precious metals when working to private commission."
