About
I live and work in Dundee, and grew up in Broughty Ferry. I have recently graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone college of Art and Design studying Jewellery and Metalwork design. I now have a workshop in the city where I can design and make my jewellery. My plan is to have my jewellery in galleries and sell through craft fairs, you can see where my designs are for sale on my blog, www.sarah-spalding.blogspot.com. Commissions are always welcome if you have an idea of your own or have seen an element of my previous designs you like, we can work with that to come up with a design that suits you.

‘Crisp lines, sharp construction, a landscape of geometric shapes'
My jewellery designs are influenced by pattern and structure found in and around cities. My research and sketchbook work has led me to have an interest in repeating parts to build up a finished piece using mainly precious metals and sometimes wood. I often oxidise silver, which is a technique that turns it black, to give it a more industrial appearance to link in with my research. I like to use wire and sheet metal to create structures combined with semi precious stones to add a blast of colour and a striking impact.
My pieces reflect architectural aesthetics that have been developed to create sculptural yet wearable jewellery available for woman of all ages. The prices in my degree show collection range from £195 to £495.
