Sarah Kelley - Shark Alley - Brighton, East Sussex

Sarah Kelly, a jeweller based in Brighton, trained as an illustrator under Raymond Briggs and has a background in textile design, including collaborations with Kaffe Fassett. She began making jewellery in 2010 using papier mâché, beads and resin in various combinations in order to focus on hands on making. 

Inspired by the natural world and bird watching in her local park during lockdown, her signature style developed into laser cut countryside and wildlife designs, and brooches, delicately etched with folk-style patterns enhanced by F & B paint in neutral seaside shades.
