- Since late 2008 I have been making jewellery from my foreshore finds.
- My pieces are created from fragments of discarded clay pipes dating back as far as the 16th century.
- In 2015 The Port of London Authority, the body that owns and manages the River Thames' foreshores, created for me a special one-of-a kind permit to clearly show that I am authorised by them to transform their historic litter into items for sale.
- All the fragments of clay pipe that I select are used as found having been eroded and coloured by time and tide.
- I clean the pipe fragments thoroughly. I do not trim them to size.
- Every fragment is unique. Therefore, every product I make is unique. There will be similarities in the designs/configurations, but no two finished pieces will ever be identical.
