Emma had a very happy childhood growing up in the Limestone Coast of South Australia, in a beautiful place , Mount Gambier. She comes from a family of creative and hard working people. Growing up she was always into her mums sewing draws pulling out buttons and fabrics, mainly because she liked the colours. She was always building bits and pieces, at the age of about five the whole family received paper weights made from pine blocks glued together for christmas! Of which the whole family thinks now its hilarious!

After finishing her schooling in the city of Mount Gambier Emmas desire to travel led her to Western Australia where she worked as a tour guide in the caves at Margaret River, when she wasn't working she was visiting the local bead shop and making up creations.

Emma started making beaded necklaces firstly for herself and then to tourists to take home as souvenirs.

Realising others appreciated her work and it was in demand Emma and her husband Ryan decided it was time for a career change and some study.

 

This decision took them to bustling Melbourne, quite a different lifestyle to laid back Margaret River, however they were soon settled in and Emma studied an Advanced Diploma in Silversmithing at Northern Melbourne Institute of Technology, and Emma was sharing a jewellery studio on the edge of the city centre and thoroughly enjoying the Melbourne lifestyle and experiences.

Emmas work was well received in Melbourne with her work in many boutiques and galleries across Australia.
However the desire to return to their home town of Mount Gambier grew too strong as new family members were being born there and Emma and Ryan returned after living away for nearly eight years.

Emma is now a mother to a beautiful, busy toddler Solomon and opened a working studio in December 2009 in Mount Gambiers city Centre. "My work is a real passion, and opening a studio is something I've always wanted to do, so I feel so fortunate that I have been able to follow my dreams"

"The studio is a place where people can come to discuss design ideas and together we come up with the perfect design in a casual and lively environment"
