Suzanne Claire

Suzanna Claire creates jewellery in the Peak District, where textiles and needle crafts collide. Through time and experimentation, the two disciplines merged. Using silver chain, wire and sheet as alternatives to thread, wool and fabric, Suzanne handcrafts beautiful tactile French knitted, crocheted, embroidered and woven jewellery. Each piece is characterised by a slinky movement and feel to the skin, or is visually enlivened by the manipulation of the original surface texture. Splashes of colour are added through semi precious beads and threads, giving each creation a playful quality. These non-traditional jewellery making techniques help create Suzanne's distinctive, signature style.
