It is important to Amy that each piece embodies the authenticity of being handmade while remaining crafted to the highest quality.
She forges all of her jewellery by hand in her gallery workshop, nestled against the backdrop of Mt. Iron, in Wanaka. Her tranquil space is welcome to visitors and passers by to view her workspace and current collections.
Amy holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Otago School of Art, with a major in Metalsmithing, a Diploma in Craft Design and has completed stone setting workshops in the U.S.A. After spending 11 incredible years in the U.S.A, Amy returned to Central Otago with her husband and their two “Amerikiwi” kids. They love the outdoor central lifestyle, and have since expanded the family to include a fluffy tabby rescue named Twiggy and a ruby Cavalier Charles called Arlo.
