From engineering, to teaching, to silversmithing: it's fair to say I've had a varied career. Some might say I can't make my mind up what I want to do, though I'd rather say it's because I've never found quite the right fit for me. Until now that is!I came to silversmithing back in 2015 when I was looking for a creative escape from a career that had left me deeply unhappy and more than a little broken. I was instantly hooked; the ability to take an unassuming scrap of metal and turn it into a piece of wearable art gave me immense satisfaction. I knew very quickly that I wanted this to be more than just a hobby, and my business was born. LollaMac is a range of contemporary jewellery, all designed and handcrafted by me using traditional silversmithing hand tools and techniques. I work with sterling silver, copper and brass, the 'mixed-metals' look being a signature of the brand. My style is simple, clean and minimalist. Northing in your face, but hopefully striking nonetheless, with a cohesive collection suited to any occassion. I have recently taken the leap from small studio to opening my own bricks & mortar shop right in the heart of my home town of Hexham. Visitors can see me at work, browse the complete LollaMac collection, or even try their hand at making their very own jewellery in one of my in-store workshops.I have registered my maker's mark with the London Assay office, who hallmark my work in accordance with UK legal requirements. As well as through my own shop, the LollaMac collection is available through a number of stockists across the UK, and online at www.lollamac.co.uk. If you happen to be a gallery owner and would be interested in becoming a stockist, then let's chat!
