Member of the Month: Linda Connelly
Linda Connelly is an enamel artist and jeweller creating handmade pieces inspired by places and memories. Linda principally uses traditional enamelling skills such as cloisonne, champleve, and basse-taille. The silver under the enamel is hand engraved to create texture. These skills are augmented with new techniques she has developed with printing with enamels using lino blocks and screen printing. Linda’s work is vibrantly coloured and beautifully finished.
Linda Connelly has won many awards at the prestigious annual Goldsmiths’ Craftsmanship and Design Council Awards in London.
Linda creates exquisite, unique and colourful pieces. They often have a narrative. Her work brings memories to life in enamels and jewellery from her studio in Surrey, UK. She welcomes commissions and would love to work with you to design and make something special for you.
Linda Connelly’s work is designed for special occasions and for everyday; smart nights out and for walking the dog. It is designed to be worn every day as well as to be an heirloom of the future.
