Collection: Papermetal

Julie Bailey aka Papermetal is a British designer/maker producing studio jewellery in Thirsk, North Yorkshire and she was the National Trust Artisan/Maker 2019 and a selected directory maker with The Crafts Council.

Drawing from her childhood in Singapore playing with Ikebana and paper cutting skills, she began to make, construct, cut and arrange. Later adding skills of jewellery craftsmanship, fine art printmaking and working in gardens and with flowers, the editing and re-editing of surfaces, colours, textures and forms started to make sense. The interweaving of metal to paper and paper to metal evolving as her signature style around imprinting.
