The Collection
The Studio
Every piece begins as a thought — a shape found in nature, a curve observed in old manuscript illumination, the architecture of an insect wing. From there it travels through digital sculpting in ZBrush, SLA resin printing, traditional Delft clay mould-making and lost-wax casting, finally emerging in sterling silver or hand-forged copper.
No two pieces are identical. Each one carries the marks of the process that made it — the texture of the mould, the warmth of the hammer, the slight asymmetry of something shaped by human hands rather than machine.
The studio sits in Riverstick, County Cork, where the work draws on years of experience spanning traditional silversmithing, digital sculpture, and a deep love of medieval manuscript art from the Arnamagnæan Collection in Copenhagen.

SLA resin printing captures every fine detail of the sculpted design
Delft clay or lost-wax casting — fire transforms resin to sterling silver
