COUP de COEUR : Nicola MATHER
Nicola Mather trained and graduated with a BA (Hons) in Silversmithing and Jewellery from the Glasgow School of Art in 2010.
Nicola uses new technologies in jewellery combined with more traditional techniques to create unique ethereal pieces which are intricate and resilient. Inspired by seeds and pods which she collects, Nicola has studied these organic forms closely to reveal the beautiful struture, texture and form which she conveys in her designs.
The designs are often generated from interests in repetition of a single form and extensive experimentation of material. By combining linear forms with vibrant gemstones Nicola mirrors the delicate qualities of organic structures whilst adding her own unique style. The jewellery is beautifully intricate but deceptively resilient combining form and movement.
Nicola has already exhibited alongside estalished jewellers at the Barbican in 2010 and is now a licentiate of the Society of Designer Craftsmen.
