Information about Mo
After graduating from Loughborough University School of Art and Design, Mo gained experience working for an independent jeweller and a jewellery manufacturing company.
In 2005 she set up Somo Designs designing and manufacturing 12 ranges of contemporary hand crafted jewellery.
In 2008 she completed the Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery Silver Metal Clay Diploma giving her the experience and skills to work with this exciting material developed and patented in the 1990s.
Fired Precious Metal Clay work can be polished, soldered, enameled, and enjoyed like any other silver or gold item. In August 2011 Mo relocated her workshop to a tranquil location on the White Isle of Ibiza, where she continues to exhibit, work to commission, design new ranges, run workshops teaching silversmithing and PMC. If you wish to learn new skills whilst enjoying the Ibizian climate (300 days of sunshine a year) and its natural beauty, there are flights available all year round.
"I have a passionate interest in all aspects of design, jewellery and silversmithing. Innovative design has an important role in my work incorporating the aesthetic value of the piece as well as its form and function. My work embraces a range of materials and techniques to create unique contemporary pieces".
