Lauren Braithwaite

Bishopsland Fellow 2016-2017

Lauren Ellen Braithwaite is a contemporary jewellery designer and maker.

Lauren gains great satisfaction through the process of designing and creating for a purpose. To design pieces of jewellery that have sentiment to individuals is her ambition.

Her work to date has been based upon the idea of taking a moment or a memory and encompassing it within a piece of jewellery. She was using photography and abstracting it to create simple forms within a circle that represented a camera lens. This process could be completed for anyone’s memories. It’s a way of being able to carry the value of the memory in a wearable object made from precious materials.
