Adele lives in Whaley Bridge creating jewellery in her canal side studio. For the last 23 years she has made and taught jewellery making workshops and courses in the High Peak within adult education, teaching many local jewellers her skills.
With a degree in 3D Design, specialising in jewellery and an HND in Textile Design, she has brought her love of metalwork and surface print together and applied them within her work. In 2002, she was awarded a Crafts Council placement at Manchester Metropolitan University as designer in residence.
Adele draws inspiration from the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. This can be seen in her colourful hand painted anodised aluminium range which depict the details she observes in flowers, grasses and insects found in our hedgerows and meadows. Each piece unique due to process. Her silver jewellery incorporates textures, organic etched patterns or cut to echo nature’s growth and form, often set with semi- precious stones.
Her jewellery has featured in many exhibitions in the UK and abroad. Her earlier textile thread and silver jewellery has been published in several contemporary jewellery books.
If you are interested in day workshops in jewellery making or textiles at her canal side studio and other venues, please visit our workshop page for more details and her Instagram pages for current work/courses. Commissions welcome.
