My name is Louisa Crispin, I am a silversmith living in Kent.
My work is primarily in sterling silver highlighted with semi-precious stones and I am exploring the effects of reticulation and embossed finishes.
The current “pretty” fashions suit my style and allow me to experiment with textures and colours; daisies, my favourite flower, often feature in the finished work.
I was lucky to grow up in an environment where nature’s patterns were treasured and utilised in many creations.
However art and craft was considered a hobby; at school I was encouraged into more academic subjects, followed by a career in computing.
By chance I found an Adult Education Evening Class offering Silversmithing. Marriage, 2 children and 13 years later I am now selling my creations.
Most of my work is sold through local Galleries - follow the link for a list of Stockists and Events where I will be present.
