Metal Dove

What’s your favourite medium to work with?

Metal Clay, made from recycled silver. Looks exactly like clay but when fired turns to solid fine silver, it's magical and picks up amazing detail from my nature moulds, what's not to like!

What’s your favourite part of  being an Etsy seller?

The makers community and the connection with customers. Turning a customer's dream piece into a reality never gets old and I've met some of my closest friends through the Etsy Community, there's so much shared experience and knowledge it's incredibly positive.

How did you come up with the name for your Etsy shop?

Over a glass of wine with friends and mindmap of words I associate with me and my work. Metal (the writing is on the wall with that one) and Dove as a nature inspired brand and symbol of peace to reflect the mindfulness and peace making brings to my mind /soul

How do you spend your down-time?

Nature walks, a cool walk through a leafy wood is my happy place and I always come back with treats in my pockets, acorns, leaves or a twig or two....for the moulds!
