polymer clay, argentium silver
These handmade earrings are fun statement pieces for the vibrant woman. Made with polymer clay and silver, the artist writes that wearing original art is an opportunity for you to shine your light. Each piece has been designed to sit comfortably and is very lightweight.
After a degree and career in interior design, Jude was smitten with jewellery making in Mexico. She returned to Canada to study at George Brown College in Toronto. She is self taught in polymer clay and is endlessly inspired by the exciting colours, textures and immediacy that are possible in this medium. Her pieces range from soft organic forms and colours to blunt geometric shapes and bright hues.
“When making jewellery I am to create an authentic statement that touches someone’s life. Every design is an exploration of form and volume. I feel more akin to a sculptor, and I let the clay guide me, listening for new directions as I work. Polymer clay is extremely durable and suits my commitment to reduced obsolescence. I respect the earth’s resources and am committed to a conscientious practice.”
