Casting and polishing rubber, it is an intriguing material to work with. Grinding and polishing woods such as rosewood and ebony. Besides this I am also very skilled at velvet coating technology, which is one of the hardest skills to master!

People usually romanticise the beauty aspect too much, when it comes to jewellery. Creating a piece is sometimes really painful and draining not only physically, but emotionally. For instance, creating silver or gold wire in the studio is like taking physical exercise.

I once worked so hard for my personal exhibition that it left me physically drained. Later watching myself on television, I seemed sad instead of being happy and during that day my work got stolen. I learned not to be too attached to my pieces after that.

Don’t listen too much to what other people tell you, as an artist you know what’s best and it’s always better to learn from your own mistakes. Secondly don’t reinvent, instead explore and learn from your field and its history.
