Moving On

2011-03-31T05:04:00.001-07:00

I have moved out from my studio in Gipsy Hill. If you have something to post then please contact me by email and I can give you my current postal address.

I'm going to be taking a break from making Jewellery, giving me time to explore some new and exciting ideas! However leading up to my move I was busy making lots of lovely jewellery so please still get in touch if you would like some.

I became a member of the Gipsy Hill Studios when I moved to London 5 years ago. It has been a massive part of my life and I'm sad to say good by.

Here are a few pictures of the studio melt down....

Memories of Italy - Bottlestop Commission

2010-11-27T06:34:00.000-08:00

I have been commissioned to design a bottlestop based on the receivers favourite destination, Italy. The client visited my studio where we got ideas down on paper. The design is based around the encapsulation of the receivers Italy memorabilia. The objects to be encapsulated include magazine cuttings, a map and some stamps. The next stage is mold making in preparation for casting.

Wedding Present - Love Heart Bottlestop Commission

Annette contacted me asking if I could make her a bottlestop encapsulating some images of love heart sweets. Two of Annette's friends are getting married and the bottlestop is a wedding gift. Annette visited me at the studio to discuss her idea further. We decided that it would be a nice idea to include the actual sweets within the design. Annette left the rest to me.

Illustrated Cufflinks

2010-08-26T15:45:00.000-07:00

This project has developed from my recycled paper jewellery range. Where cufflinks have been used to encapsulate and display interesting paper items. Such as the use of tattered vintage maps and the reuse of unwanted comic book.

Skull Pendant Commission

2010-08-20T04:31:00.000-07:00

I have been asked to make this skull into a pendant/ interesting object. After discussing the pendant idea with the client we decided to encapsulate the skull without using any colour. To make the skull look extra white I will be bleaching it's surface.

The shape of the encapsulation will be a rounded triangular shape. When the pendant is being worn the triangle shape will be longer than it is wide with a flat edge at the top moving down into a point.

The curves in the surface of the clear encapsulation will magnify the objects details and because the encapsulation is going to be entirely clear the wearer will be able to see every detail of the skull.

Another reason for making the encapsulation clear is so the pendant will be well suited to different outfits and because the skull is quite large it will make the pendant look and feel smaller.

Comic Ring Commission

2010-07-19T06:07:00.000-07:00

The first stage to making a comic ring commission is for the customer to select a piece of comic. We then discuss shapes, colours & the desired finish. We have decided to use a red ring base.

The comic book cutting has been cast and shaped. Now I'm making a mould for the ring base. The former has been sculpted from MDF and I'm using a flexible clear rubber to make the mold.

Rustic Leaf

2009-10-19T09:59:00.000-07:00

Dear Peter,

Your website looks amazing! It's great to see some of your other work.

I had a piece made by you during the fall of 2007 (the rustic leaf with the copper coiled stem) and I just wanted to thank you again. I gave you three words and you gave me an impeccably warm hybrid of them. I still wear it everyday to this day-- I prize your creativity and am grateful for your intrinsic sense of what people are looking for. If I didn't live in New York, you would have been hearing from me about many more potential pieces. I hope to visit the UK in the near future and hope to relish in your talents once again.

Congratulations on your success.

Take Care.

Fondly,

Christina

Waste Not Want Not Lampshade

2009-09-29T02:03:00.000-07:00

Waste Not Want Not is about converting disused objects into innovative pieces of lighting.

Off or On Lampshade

2009-09-29T02:01:00.000-07:00

Off or On is a decorative shade which glows when the lamp is off or on. It is constructed from a single sheet of flexible plastic. The plastic charges while the lamp is in use, then emits light when the lamp is turned off. When the lamp is turned off the shade radiates a long lasting glow, which creates a cool, calming atmosphere in any room. Alternatively it can also be used as a children’s night light or energy saving device.

Bad Manners Table

2009-09-29T02:00:00.000-07:00

Bad Manners is a development of the Play Light. This piece of furniture aims to make meal times relaxing and fun. It allows you to unwind, share ideas and allows people to take time out by encouraging them to play at the dinner table.

Sandwiched between two layers of glass is a layer of iron filings illuminated from beneath. These iron filings are manipulated by the magnetic tableware (salt & pepper, knives and forks etc). This table includes dimmer and colour changing facilities to adjust the lighting to suite your mood.

Play Light

2009-09-29T01:53:00.001-07:00

This is a flat pack, easy to make light. Its design allows you to bring the natural elements we play in outdoors into our homes to be enjoyed. Spil aims to encourage people to engage in building their own light by providing them with the parts they need. However the design only truly comes alive when people incorporate their own found components, for example sand or leaves. After this the light will become a more valued part of your personal space.

Those who have used the Play Light find it fun, relaxing and therapeutic, describing it as a ‘limitless canvas that can encourage imagination through participation.’ Materials lit by the light were used to record journeys such as walks and as a communication tool to leave messages in.

Multifunctional Snake Unit

2009-09-29T01:50:00.001-07:00

The Snake Unit can be anything you choose it to be. It can be used to create steps, seating, book shelves, sculptures, coffee tables, children’s den making or TV stand. The more it is used the more its potential becomes clear. The open sides allow you to learn how the unit works, whilst using the elastic cord to create an innovative feature. The Snake Unit consists of eight 250mm lightweight cubes, joined using a single length of elastic cord, which both structures the cubes and acts as an axis on which the cubes can be turned.

Compassionate Stool

2009-09-29T01:46:00.000-07:00

This unique piece of furniture enables you to grow a plant from seed or cutting inside it. You will witness the whole process from germination to sprouting seed. As your appreciation for the plant inside grows so will your appreciation for the stool.
The stool is made from clear materials including the propagation gel inside, which feeds the plant and allows the roots to become a decorative feature. On the outside of the stool is a grass footrest that slots in allowing you to have the feeling of grass between your toes more often.

Collective

2009-09-29T01:44:00.000-07:00

All products are built on the philosophy that if you value something you will sustain it. In this way Peter aims to create products that become an intrinsic part of peoples lifestyles, personal environment and identity, in order to combat wastefulness and a sense of dissatisfaction that today’s consumer society can often encounter.

A key trait of every product created by Peter is the interaction of the user in creating it, usually through play. The user must hunt for their own components, rearrange the piece to suite their mood or nurture it to achieve a final result. Either way interaction with our surrounding environment is promoted. Peter hopes this will carry through into other areas of our customer’s lives and generate a better awareness and observation of the world’s unique environments.

Peter is coming up with new product ideas quicker than they can be made. If you are interested in commissioning Peter or finding out more please get in touch.

Wedding Table Number Centre Piece & Memorabilia

2009-09-29T01:41:00.001-07:00

Commissioned to design and make wedding table number centre piece sculptures and wedding jewellery memorabilia. All will be revealed in the bellow pages…

Wedding Jewellery & Gifts Commission

2009-09-29T01:39:00.000-07:00

Commissioned to design and make wedding gifts, bridesmaid’s jewellery, bride’s jewellery and cufflinks for the best man and groom. It was agreed that all the designs were to work together as a collection using the same colours materials and textures. The concept was to use the bridesmaid's dress fabric within the designs. The bride & groom gave away custom made bottle stoppers to their guests. The bottle stoppers encapsulate hearts cut from the dress fabric. At the centre of the bottle stoppers the initials of the couple were written in gold with gold leaf in the background.

Business Promotion

2009-09-29T01:36:00.000-07:00

In addition to your business card Peter can develop a very special promotional tool that will find a home within your client’s lifestyle. Once you have finished your meeting you will be represented by an enjoyable physical object that you and your business will be remembered by. Bellow are three examples, the first is a promotional tool that Peter uses himself. “I have heard feedback that these promotional gifts have been kept on office desks because they are tactile, thoughtful, aesthetically pleasing objects. Here a pebble shape has been combined with the weight of bronze so the promotional tool lends itself to desk type functions i.e. a paper weight. The two illustrations show further possibilities for this promotional tool. The illustration of the tablet with a hole in its centre and the bracelet with contact details contained within the beads are commissions in progress. The tablet could have contact information incorporated inside or embossed on the surface of the design. The hole gives the square tablet a sculptural tactile feel that is pleasurable to handle.

Spindrift Gallery

2009-09-29T01:34:00.001-07:00

The Spindrift Gallery based in Cornwall requested their own bespoke colour palette to suit the style of their gallery. If you are a gallery or a boutique with a specific style it’s well worth having a custom made range of jewellery made.

“As soon as the jewellery went into the window it begun to sell, by the end of its first day there was only half a display left!”

So I made them some more. I was pleased they had such a successful day.

Necklace

2009-09-29T01:32:00.000-07:00

A customer visited the studio and selected his own combination of resin pieces. From these pieces we designed a necklace, perfect timing for his wife’s birthday.
