| Sarah Kelly |
|
Sarah Kelly creates innovative, sculptured
art jewellery made in paper under her
company name 'Saloukee'. She began
working with paper when creating
mock ups for traditional silver
jewellery and fashion accessories. |
|
It was at this point that she
realised that she loved working
with the malleable, ephemeral
nature of paper, much more
than the metals which she
had been traditionally trained
with. Many of the jewellery
pieces include several hundred
hand pressed rivets, intricate
laser cutting and self taught
paper folding techniques. |
|
| Through the folding, riveting and laser cutting methods she creates 'talking point' jewellery which is showcased, collected and receives press worldwide.Sarah has received several accolades including being awarded the prize for "Excellence in jewellery" by the British Jewellers Association, being shortlisted from 600 applicants to be part of the European Prize for Applied Arts, Belgium and receiving Shell Livewire's 'Grand Ideas' Award for her innovations in design.Sarah is a visiting lecturer and artist to both schools and universities specialising in textiles, product and jewellery fields. |
|
| Her aim is to teach students how to use paper as a three dimensional, illustrative tool. Sarah also runs jewellery workshops for both adults and children and 2011 will see the launch of her first book titled ‘Paper Jewellery’ to be published By A and C Black Ltd, London. |
