Bold Contemporary Jewellery in Silver and other Materials
Uschis path to jewellery-making evolved from a deep interest in art and crafts. Having discovered silversmithing, she was amazed by the tools, processes and materials and enrolled in a jewellery design course at the School of Art and Design in Bristol in the late 1980s. There were many techniques to explore, and her favourites are still fusing and reticulation, using heat and layers of silver to pattern and shape create shapes, Uschi draws the natural world to explore details to be incorporated in to her designs.
Elected member of the Gloucestershire Guild since 2000.
Over decades Uschi has exhibited in many galleries and exhibitions and regularly shows new work.
Passionate about supporting creativity, Uschi is also chair of farOpen, the local open studios art trail including responsibility for membership, website and brochure production with the help of a fabulously talented team.

Perienne creates works that weave together landscape, wild plant and story medicine. Like a patchwork quilt of memories, dreams and observations, she stitches together stories that exist in multiple layers on the one picture plane responding intuitively, allowing unseen elements to guide her work.
Perienne lives and works in the Forest of Dean in the UK.
She has exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Royal Academy of Arts, Buckingham Palace and Christie’s in New York. Her work is held in many public and private collections In 2006, she was awarded a scholarship to study at the Royal Drawing School in London in 2006, where she now teaches drawing and printmaking; courses that emphasise the cross over from observation into imagination.
