Hannah souter

Whilst studying Goldsmithing, Silversmithing and Jewellery Design at Kent Institute of Art and Design, Hannah found her work was strongly influenced by the love of organic forms, in particular seed pods and buds. After graduating with a first class honours degree she continued to develop this theme on a post-graduate residency at Bishopsland Workshops, Reading.

Hannah's residency allowed her to explore and experiment further the three dimensional qualities of jewellery that interested her most; shape and texture.

Having completed her year at Bishopsland Workshops in August 2003, she moved back to Cambridgeshire setting up her own workshop. Inspired by the surrounding countryside, she creates sculptural jewellery that reflects the beauty and delicate structures found in nature. Comprising of hand press formed and individually fabricated units, her jewellery combines subtle surface textures and contrasting finishes to create unique pieces of fine jewellery.
