FIONA DOWLING

I am the owner, designer and maker behind Jewellery Moves. I have 20 years experience in the Jewellery Industry, a BA from Edinburgh College of Art and an MA from the Royal College of Art, London. Jewellery Moves began when I was living in Cyprus. I’d previously trained and worked as a jeweller and despite moving around a lot, I always made sure that wherever we ended up I had my workbench and tools. Living by the sea had given me a vision of putting these tools to use by running jewellery workshops on the beach and so Jewellery Moves was born! I then started to offer people the opportunity to host workshops in their own homes… These workshops have shown me that after years of making jewellery on my own, I’m now loving making as part of a group and passing my skills on to others. It’s all about gathering together and feeling really satisfied with what you have created - where the experience is as precious the jewellery you’ve made. I believe that jewellery should be made anywhere and everywhere so alongside my ‘at home’ workshops I offer ‘pop up’ workshops at various locations throughout Hampshire, Wiltshire and Berkshire. www.jewellerymoves.com
