Enamel being applied

Lynne taught herself to enamel, applying a very finely-ground coloured glass onto metal and melting it with a blowtorch or a kiln. "It’s quite addictive. I very quickly realised I needed to learn all kinds of other skills to support it."

Lynne works in a barn which has been converted into a studio a couple of miles outside the Moors village of Glaisdale. She admits the location is isolated but also inspirational.

Lynne says the hardest part of the job is trying to promote her work and she relies on galleries for the vast majority of her sales. She makes earrings, pendants and other jewellery from silver, copper and aluminium.
