About

Kathryn Williamson’s jewellery explores family and memory inspired by her collection of treasure trove.

Inherited and collected objects, textiles, ceramics from Scotland’s decorative heritage and finds walking the Fife shoreline  all inspire her choice of texture, pattern, shape and colour.

 The designs are fabricated in silver using traditional fine jewellery skills using the rolling mill, etching and hammers.

 The final pieces combine  silver with laser engraved acrylic and found beach ceramics in different combinations creating a subtle blend of colour, balance and rhythm inspired by the precise layout of museum artefacts where neighbouring elements have a different narrative or memory.
