In this week's episode, host Elin Horgan chats to Emma Stanton, a jeweller from Hove, East Sussex. Emma shares her journey into jewellery making, which began 19 years ago after taking evening classes. She discusses how her design process evolved from early inspirations, such as the sea, to focusing on shapes and textures. Emma also reflects on the challenges of being self-taught, overcoming imposter syndrome, and her preference for working with materials directly rather than sketching. Her work often draws on ancient relics and natural elements, blending traditional techniques with her unique artistic vision.
