About F&H

I began making jewellery in the early 1980s. I shape raw silver with hand tools, fire, and hammers. I sometimes cut and polish my own cabochons, but that doesn’t make me as happy as hitting metal with a hammer.

This blog is about my jewellery – manufactured by hand – and connected thoughts. Sometimes it will be about other people’s work, too, and inspirational stuff I’ve come across. I don’t intend to post about personal stuff, feelings, or specifics about my life – unless it has something to do with jewellery.

My jewellery is made in silver and hallmarked in the UK.

    Aileen,
    I have received your recent email. Thank you for your delightful comments! I visited your website, your work is fabulous and we do have similar tastes in gemstones. I have a wonderful Ocean Jasper pendant packed in the truck right now. I had a show this weekend out of town and haven’t unpacked yet…procrastinating as usual. I will send along a photo of the pendant when I get it in the house. I would also love to be included in your blog.

    For some reason I could not respond to you directly from the email.

    I just had a remake of my website. let me know what you think :)

    Cheers!

    Superb blog. Just right. Love your observations and analogies (solder sprites!). Thank you for the links on the left. Especially like Mission Motif and their stained glass work as I have had my stained glass books out recently, thinking…I can adapt these patterns for my silverwork… N
