NANCY MATHER

JEWELLER BASED IN THE UK

I am a UK based, jeweller working primarily in brass and copper. I enjoy manipulating mixed metals to freely experiment with form, texture and scale - particularly through foldforming soldered sheet. ​

As a maker, I am inspired by the past and our links with it; be that the ruins of an imposing structure or the small imperfections left by people years ago, I am fascinated by the way that people throughout time have left their marks on our world. The work I create is an attempt to close that distance between us and the past, connecting to personal and general history, while not losing my own sense of style and decoration.​

My work is currently exploring historical designs, that I have taken and manipulated into complex three-dimensional objects, particularly the spiral embellishments found on many Iron Age pieces. 

About Me.

I am a metalsmith and jeweller from the Midlands, working predominantly in brass and copper. I studied at the University for the Creative Arts and am continuing to grow my practice as an authentic and expressive designer-maker. My goal as a maker is to create small series of works that encapsulates a historic and imaginative idea, that people can connect with and wear as a much-loved piece. ​

Coming from a creative family, I have always been encouraged and celebrated being able to create anything with my hands, I find that through making you can connect with others in unique ways, and it is a pleasure to share what I have created with others.
