I’m a multi-passionate maker.
What does that mean, you may ask. It means I love making, I love creating, I love the process of turning an idea into a finished product.

As it happens my first passion for making was with paper, scissors and tape. It grew into other materials available in the woods around the farm where I grew up, twigs, wood, found objects I would make into something in my fathers wood workshop. Later I got a crush on metals, mainly silver, stones and pearls. I had a flirt with jewellery making, but finally decided on silversmithing.

So, what does a silversmith do? 

It’s best explained in moving images and sound – check out my film about all the stages I go through when I make a piece. And you should check out my Silver Manifesto too

I have a fascination with silver. The fact that I can use recycle my scrap silver (the little pieces I cut or file away) by smelting it and casting new sheets dovetails well with todays focus on eco-friendly recycling practices. If you want to read more about my silver passion - click here .

Making is much more than just silversmithing to me. It’s also about communicating the way you see the world – being transparent. Creating a way to explain a concept, an idea or a way to do something in a visual way. I’m dedicated to teaching everything I know about being a professional maker, to other makers.

Some background info: I have a Masters degree from the Royal College of Art in London and before that a Bachelor’s degree from Konstfack University in Stockholm. I’ve been a professional silversmith since 2003, until 2007 in London, were I also taught, mainly in the design process and how to make a portfolio for applying to a design college.

My work is exhibited in danish & international galleries, museums & collections and I live in Aarhus, Denmark.
