Contemporary Jeweller and Ulster University lecturer Anne Earls Boylan, joins us for episode six of ten from our second series.
A clip of this episode is available above in the video.
This second series of our podcast is funded by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland as part of their Artist Emergency Programme.
Anne shares her making journey to contemporary jewellery from rural Armagh to London where she studied at the Royal College of Art.
Her passion within her making practice lies in the importance of curiosity, as well as ethics informing her work.
The body is also an influence to Anne in her practice, with experimenting with what wearing work might look like; rather than it just being a ring or a brooch, she engages with construction to find the magic in the objects function.
Anne is also a lecturer at Ulster University, Belfast in the applied art Jewellery & SIlversmithing department.
Anne is also a founder of the ACJSNI - who showcase and support the Jewellery & Silversmithing community living and working in Northern Ireland.
