Helen Luna – Jewellery Designer, Metalsmith, Artist

I have always loved to create and after a year of studying Design I decided that Jewellery would be the perfect mix of design and hands on skill for me. I moved to Melbourne to complete my Advanced Diploma in Jewellery Design and Metalsmithing then returned home to North Coast NSW to make Jewellery.

Natural forms and textures inspire my work, from microscopic to macroscopic; I am intrigued by the vast variety of forms and textures in all organic life. My focus is on uncomplicated designs, finding beauty in simple shapes and organic textures without compromising purity of form.

I am continuously experimenting with new techniques to learn all I can about form and function and incorporating new materials, although my favourite material to work with is silver. My passion for jewellery continues to grow as my skill base increases, constantly opening new avenues of exploration.

What a fun night opening night was – and such a buzz for the four of us  from Hammer and Hand chosen to showcase the talent of jewellers in the Northern Rivers area.  The gallery will run for 5 weeks and is open Wednesday – Sunday 9am-6pm.  All four of us (Helen, Lucille, Laura and Jen) will work at the gallery for a week each – so we hope to see you there!
