Jewellery by Crafty Rachael - A crafty adventure! Although I am trying to forge a career within museums, I am very passionate about home crafts such as jewellery making, knitting and sewing (this is a work in progress!)
From a very young age I have had a slight obsession with beads – most of my money on family holidays would disappear in bead shops. I would then create jewellery for family and fr
iends (or just stash them away in boxes!)
For the past five years I have shared a small crafting business with a friend – selling our handmade goods at various markets and craft fairs in the North East of England. This collection is a new venture for me. I am now branching out, experimenting with new materials such as sterling silver, semi-precious beads and combining different craft forms. As a self-taught jewellery maker I create my pieces by threading, winding and knitting the different materials. The ideas come from a wide variety of sources be it; nature, heritage or travel experiences. All of my work is designed and created in my "Craft Lab" in County Durham, England. Message me to commission an individual piece - I can advice with bead choices, necklace length and colours :).
