I'm Denise and have been making jewellery and greetings cards since 2014 in my tiny box room workshop in Ealing, London. Denalis jewellery
I love silver and have been hooked on working with precious metal clay since completing courses at The London Jewellery School in Hatton Garden a few years ago. Silver precious clay is a very versatile, zero waste material. It's made from extremely fine particl
es of silver, a by-product of manufacturing processes, mixed with organic binders and water. Each piece I make goes throught the same process - roll, texture, shape, dry, sand, fire - to burn off the binder - and polish, leaving a beautiful and unique piece of assay quality solid silver. All pieces are individually handcrafted so no two items are identical, although styles can be similar. Any pieces weighing over 7.78g will be hallmarked. Chains and ear wires are sterling silver and stamped 925 by the manufacturer. I also handmake sterling silver jewellery, some pieces incorporating semi precious stones or crystal beads. Denalis Jewellery is available to buy at various art fairs and markets across west London throughout the year. Denalis greetings cards
Each Denalis card is unique and individually handcrafted. I design each one using a combination of fabric, craft papers and cards, sequins, gems, buttons and ribbons to realise them. Each element is cut, assembled and finished carefully by hand. I have a range of Denalis printed greetings cards- I design and hand finish each one. Denalis also stocks Gagglegoose Green Art cards. The artwork for these quirky, comical and wonderfully detailed cards were painted by my dad, John Bird.
