Elizabeth Armour

Our New Talent spotlight featuring eight new jewellery graduates from across the UK is in full swing and it looks fantastic if we do say so! Photos from the preview night to come! 

The spotlight exhibition brings together exceptional examples of innovative jewellery design and craftsmanship from emerging makers: it contains exciting, unusual and thoughtfully crafted pieces that demonstrate the breath of young talent emerging from Britain today. New work from new makers who will undoubtedly be ones to watch in the future. 

First up is Elizabeth Armour who graduated with a BDes (Hons) in Jewellery & Metalwork from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in Dundee. As a maker/designer, Elizabeth believes it is important to understand fully the possibilities of the material she is working with. The focus of her work is on the process; designing through making, experimenting with a wide range of materials from acrylic and plastic, to using new 3D modelling software. This process of investigational making is variable and unpredictable and the combination of both risk and control result in entirely new forms and levels of detail. Elizabeth has also used her studies of natural fungi and microscopic forms to aesthetically inspire her work.
