Jaimie MacDonald

I have an interest in reusing and recycling materials and I am inspired by the Scottish environment. I consider the characteristics of the materials I use; predominantly plastic film containers; and how they can be changed to have new meaning. I express the connection I have with this country and explore aspects that I find precious. I draw out an unexpected empathy with the Scottish environment with this material and also consider the impact that our wasteful lifestyles are having on the environment.

Jane Thomson

I am influenced by the simple lines of geometric forms and create contemporary designs made predominantly in silver.

I team the silver with non-precious materials, which often have a completely different use, thus changing them into wearable items of jewellery. Currently I am using hand-dyed birthday candle holders and cable ties in my 'Flower' series of jewellery.

Jared Sanders Designs

I like to use forms which take the eye on a journey, and create pieces that morph shapes into one another. I also like to combine precious materials such as silver, gold and gems with non precious materials such as wood and resin.

Jennifer Brown

Jennifer Brown graduated from Edinburgh College of Art, specialising in jewellery.

Brown works primarily in precious metals, combined with stones, resin and enamel. Her work is informed by a fixation with detail, "elements or anomalies which might go unnoticed, but to me seem extraordinary are a constant source of inspiration". Brown aims to create objects which from a distance appear beautiful, sophisticated and quiet but hold an allure and invite close inspection.

Jennifer Urquhart

Construction is an integral theme in my contemporary jewellery. Scaffolding, cranes and building sites act as the starting point from which I take inspiration from its industrial environment. I utilize non precious materials such as coloured rubber cord and stainless steel wire alongside precious materials, such as silver and gold tube to bring a sense of fragility and elegance to objects which are associated with being unattractive and invasive.
