fi tilbury jewellery
Worcester
Fi grew up in London and throughout her childhood was always either making
things, drawing or painting. She did her foundation course in London and then
chose to leave the city and take her degree in Fine art Painting in the
beautiful city of Bath. After spending a couple of years, based in a studio
group in Bristol, making her own work, she decided to move back to London and
shortly thereafter she did a PGCE and began her teaching career. After having
her son, and due to work commitments, Fi and her family moved to Worcester and
this is where she began honing her skills as a jeweller. She is now a jewellery
designer and painter, offering unique, handmade jewellery pieces which are
mostly made in silver, incorporating semi precious stones and accents of gold.
Jewellery commissions are regularly undertaken and include recycling of old
jewellery pieces to make new. Her jewellery is inspired by the style of ancient
and archaeological pieces and natural forms and aspire to having a very
handmade, and 'just dug up' look. Most of the work has been hand forged but more
recently Fi has employed the lost wax casting process and now also runs
workshops. Vibrant colour plays a large part in both her painting, prints and
jewellery. Having trained in Fine Art, she uses the studio to paint in and
undertakes portrait commissions. Having a portrait painted of a loved one can be
an excellent way to mark a special birthday or occasion. As with possible
jewellery commissions she would be more than happy to discuss requirements and
options. There are a selection of workshops which can be booked in her studio,
based on jewellery making and painting. Workshops can be a fantastic way to
learn a new skill or done as a group can be a wonderful experience.
