My interest in jewellery making was inspired many years ago when my mother used to make her own earrings, on our visits to a local bead shop I was in heaven with all the beads that surrounded me.
Many years later my interest was rediscovered after I had my daugther, with some time on my hands I took to jewellery making , experimenting with a variety of styles and learning new techniques as I progressed. Two years ago I wanted to learn how to make my own glass lamp beads, unfortunately I just did'nt have the space but upon my research into lamp beads I stumbled across polymer clay and I was in awe of the creations that could be made from this medium and so my story has just begun...
About my Jewellery -
All my jewellery pieces have been individually handcrafted here in the UK by myself Clare Lewis. I am self-taught and my favourite medium is polymer clay which features in many of my designed pieces either as a focal point or as an accompaniment to an array of beads ranging from swarovski crystal, rocailles, lamp beads and more. Almost all of my pieces are unique and one of a kind OOAK, though ocassionally some items will be similar in design.
All my polymer clay collections have been sanded, buffed and polished and in some cases varnished to a high standard of finish.
