BENCH SHARE OPPORTUNITY at the Precious Metals Workshop! I'm looking for someone to share my bench with over the next year or so as i've just gone back to uni full-time. It's a large bench with great storage including a lockable cupboard and you'll have access to my permanent bench equipment (pendant drill/bench drill/pickle etc). There's 24hr access to Out of the Blue, plus you'll have access to all the other excellent resources and wonderful people at PMW. It's up for grabs for about £55/month (can be negotiated). Give me a call or email if you're interested (or pass onto anyone you think might be interested) - 07841394554 or [email protected]. Cheers, Claire!

One-off rings that I made especially for the ACJ Eccentri:city exhibition. Each jeweller was given a photograph of a place in Edinburgh to inspire a piece of jewellery to create a collaborative element to the show. I was given a photograph of Edinburgh Castle and the outcome was this series of rings made by sand-casting rocks found on the castle's crags and setting semi-precious stones. I focused on the castle's brutal yet regal history and inspired by Robert Louis-Stevenson's description of 'Auld Reekie', the city on the hill, I chose the rough-cut rocks as my visual stating point.
