Hammer & Hand is a metal & jewellery collective based in Hobart, Tasmania and Bangalow, New South Wales.

What a thrill it is to be asked to make a specific piece for someone!  And how scary!!!  I cant think of a higher compliment to be paid than to have someone entrust me to bring their jewellery dreams into reality….but, god, its soooo nerve wracking – the pressure I put on myself to make it perfectly and to ensure that what they see in their minds eye is what they get (or to make something just as fabulous if a piece just isnt possible as originally planned).

Commissioned pieces always take a long time – the planning, the drafts, the re-planning, the re-drafting, the learning of new skills (which I love), the improving of techniques already learned and perhaps the creating of something I would never have thought to do on my own – its always a huge learning curve, and such a buzz!

Below I have grouped together some of the pieces I have been commissioned to make.
