I am based in Chipping Norton, a small Cotswold town in Oxfordshire, England where I work from my studio at
home.
I was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia in 1961 where I graduated in Civil Engineering. I moved to England and studied
Art, Design and Ceramics at Windsor College.
I have been a member of the Oxfordshire Craft Guild since 2002 - their web site is at: http://www.oxfordshirecraftguild.co.uk/

I chose
porcelain as the major material for my jewellery because of its unique qualities of strength and light weight. I use vibrant
colours as an integral part of my designs. Each "stone" is individually shaped and moulded by hand, dried slowly
and fired in an electric kiln to a dense, hard, non-porous finish. Five to seven layers of glaze are applied by brush
to both sides of the "stones" and they are fired to the glaze temperature on ceramic wires. I assemble the
porcelain "stones" into earrings, necklaces and bracelets with sterling silver components. The collections are named after my childhood friends.
