heist jewellery
A First class honours graduate from Glasgow Kelvin college (validated by University of Dundee), I stumbled into jewellery following 20 years in the construction industry as a Senior Architect. Redundancy, recession and an unhealthy interest in CAD and 3D technology, lead me down a different path. I went on to gain a Postgraduate Teaching qualification at the University of Stirling in Further Education, volunteered in Further Education, taught CAD to other jewellers for a while nd have since retrained as a secondary school Design and Technology Teacher. I know!
I am all about design, I love narrative jewellery and cannot live without my sketchbooks and I like passing knowledge on.
