Marches Makers Festival Artist 2022
Zoë Wright
Exhibiting at Made in the Marches Gallery
Working from my rural barn studio in the Welsh Marches surrounded by hills, kites and the odd sheep I design and create jewellery, predominately in recycled sterling silver. All pieces are handmade from scratch using sheet and wire, the end result being unique and relaxed pieces for you to wear.
There is an emphasis on texturing the jewellery combining techniques such as forging, press forming, fusing, and reticulation. Some pieces have a polished surface, some have a smooth matt finish and I also use oxidation in parts to give a dark patina as a contrast to the gleaming silver. I add highlights and colour with high quality semi-precious gemstones and freshwater pearls reflecting the light.
