Vicki was given her first sewing machine by her grandmother at the age of six which sparked a lifelong love of craft and design. This was the start of an incredible journey of creative discovery having tried her hand at everything from knitting to furniture painting to lampshade making, and much, much more.

After 25 years as a retail buyer, Vicki upped sticks to Falmouth to pursue a full-time creative life and opened Inspire Makers in June 2020.

She sells her own work under Article Jewellery as one of over 50 artists and makers showcased in the shop and online. Working mostly in precious metal clay, Article Jewellery creates silver pieces combining geometric shapes and organic textures for everyday wear.
