I'm Alf, a Kent-based Silversmith who is passionate about bringing authentic and unique handmade sterling silver jewellery to you. I also run small-group beginner’s workshops, held in my garden studio.
The jewellery is raw, bold, organic and sometimes unconventional. The designs are simple, robust, un-fussy and uber-wearable.
Each individual piece is designed and hand-created from scratch by me, using 100% recycled bullion and off-cuts – all are therefore one-offs and cannot easily be recreated. I believe that all jewellery should feel as though you've had it for years and I spend a lot of time recreating that feel in every piece, primarily through the filing and polishing processes.
You can buy a selection of items through my website, but it’s also worth following me on Instagram and Facebook as I regularly post photos of workshops, new pieces and work in progress. If you see something you like, please get in touch!
Additionally, I take on a small number of commissions each year and would be delighted to discuss your ideas with you.
If you'd like to experience Silversmithing for yourself, take a look at the Workshops page on my website too and book a half-day or bespoke full-day course with me.
