Anna continually explores various materials and techniques. Recently, she has been experimenting with weaving methods, combining them with natural gemstones to create the effect of a gemstone fabric. She chose natural silk for weaving due to its completely natural origin and its smooth, flexible texture.

Anna had a long walk to discover herself in the world of silversmithing. Since early days she imagined how certain items would look as a piece of jewellery - whether this was a button or a gemstone or a little pebble on the beach. Only in 2017 it happened that she was able to attend her first jewellery making class and for the next three years Anna was taken away by learning both in the class and at home how to make jewellery, studying various techniques and materials. Now she is lucky to have a fully equipped home based studio and make jewellery in her free (from main work and family) time. Anna is trying to discover herself further and develop her own style. Anna loves to work with different minerals and found materials (gemstones/fossils/ wood/ recycling objects). The Pieces she creates are mainly unique as she doesn't like to repeat design too often. Anna works with traditional techniques and enjoys making her pieces from scratch using gold and silver and other base metals in her creations. Anna participated in Made 2019/Morley College Five Rings exhibition in 2020/21/Made 2022 and The 2023 Earring Show CCBC and also she is a Member of Association for Contemporary Jewellery (ACJ) and The Guild of Jewellery Designers (GOJD) in the UK.
