Cathy makes contemporary jewellery that expresses her passion for the natural world, especially plants. The pieces are sometimes symbolic, sometimes figurative and others just evoke a sense of a walk or just being in a particular environment.

A variety of techniques are used to transform precious metals to reflect these botanical forms and scenes. These include chasing and repousse, direct casting and saw piercing. This is then combined with a variety of surface treatments including enamelling.

The following artists will also be opening their studios at the same location: Sue Bartlett, Julie Pearson and Jonathan Newey.
