Aimée Mackay

Aimée is a graduate of K2 Academy of Contemporary Jewellery. Her inspiration comes from nature, from being outside and reading about wildlife and plants, both rare and mundane, from the exotic bowerbird to the humble wasp. She takes joy in the small details; weeds and moss, lichen, and tiny insects.

Her studio brims with twigs, bones, bird nests, and other curiosities, all waiting to inspire new designs. Aimée sits among objects she has collected; drawing and selecting shapes and textures to become new pieces. So much of our nature in this world is overlooked and disappearing. Finding new plants and animals to provide inspiration and introducing them to others is important to her.

Primarily working in precious metal, she also enjoys experimenting with organic materials, incorporating the natural world within her work.
