Harmony Jutle

I studied at the Hereford College of Arts gaining a BA Hons in Contemporary Applied Arts. Since graduating in 2009, I was awarded a graduate placement with the Herefordshire Alloy Jewellers Group, having access to their workshop facilities'; mentoring was offered to help ease the transition from being a student to a professional.

The elegance and beautiful surface decoration of 19th century costume has always excited me, especially the stitching, embroidery and print. I have a huge passion for classical literature, especially Jane Austen; particularly the way the language used within the novels marries well with period costume. This has inspired me to create a range of decorative metal vessels depicting my love of costume and classical literature where the form has been taken from inverted skirts and bustles.

My pieces involve the use of both copper and gilding metal. I have also used elements of fabric in the design exploring layering, folding and surface decoration discovered within costume.

I have experimented with the inside and outside of my pieces by creating a contrast between the two by using different surface decoration, either by embossing, oxidising, and etching pages from novels on the metal surface.

Prices range from: £60 - £180
