About
Irene’s passion for creating jewellery came after attending an art foundation course. Irene loved working in the metalwork room experimenting with various types of wire and sheet metal. For the end of year show she made a larger than life size necklet. Her show piece didn’t have all the correct techniques or finesse that jewellery needs but she was hooked on making wearable jewellery. After some research Irene found a specific jewellery course that could teach her the skills needed.
After several years of learning Irene entered a competition run by the Victoria and Albert museum. Her work was chosen to be displayed in the museum for several months. This gave Irene the confidence to approach the Rachael John gallery in Bourne End, Bucks to sell her work. Irene then went on to sell her work in the Amersham Art Gallery, Amersham, Bucks and more recently in “A Little Bird Told Me” gallery in Wendover.
Friends and neighbours also love Irene’s work and usually buy her latest pieces before they can be shown to anyone else!
