Kathleen Ashcroft Jewellery

I design and create jewellery from my workshop located within The Market House, St Austell, Cornwall.

I have always had a keen interest in making jewellery which started as a hobby many years ago and provided peaceful distraction from work. I regularly made pieces as gifts for friends and family or just for the pure enjoyment of creating something. I knew that one day I would want to take this further and so on retirement I decided to take the plunge and enrolled on a degree course in 3D Design Crafts at Arts University Plymouth. I graduated in 2022 with a first class honours degree.

My work draws inspiration from shapes and forms within architecture and the interconnecting nature of construction. I convey these forms into bold statement pieces. This approach means my work can convey a brutalist appearance, with heavy geometric lines and forms, adapted to compliment the shape and contours of the body. I create jewellery that creates joy, interest and interaction when worn and is designed for longevity. I utilise recycled metals where possible, including silver and gold, however I also use brass and copper.

I use traditional jewellery making methods in my work but I am also keen to embrace new technologies such as CAD (computer aided design) to enhance the quality of my creative ideas.

I also run a range of jewellery making workshops where you can start your jewellery making journey. The classes are small, fun and relaxed , where we learn at your pace.
