For this  reason I mainly produce  one-off pieces, and I also like to work to  commission.<\/p>\n<p>The making process requires focus; at every  stage in the  development of a piece of jewellery, challenges arise and  choices must be made.  The process requires a fluid approach, and every  problem arising equally  presents opportunity. The final outcome charts  this evolving relationship  between the idea, the choices made, the  application of process, and the  behaviour of the material. With a  successful piece of jewellery these elements  find accord.<\/p>\n<p>Equally important to me in the making process  is the notion  of intent. As we weave and forge and form our intentions  into objects, here we  jewellers have the means to exercise alchemy.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Vicky  has exhibited  work extensively  in   the UK and abroad through various  specialist galleries (Electrum,    Lesley Craze, Flow, ProArte Monaco and many more).<\/p>\n<p>Vicky has BA Hons  degree in silversmithing    and metalwork from Camberwell  College of Arts, 1990 ( Part of The  University of The Arts, London), and a Post Graduate  Certficate in    Education (Goldsmiths College, University of London, 1994).
