‘A leather apron is slung beneath my wooden work bench and my tools are to hand. In this small space concentration reduces hours to minutes and small pieces of metal become expansive landscapes.
Because jewellery is small scale sculpture it requires precise decision making. Purpose, material, form, weight, proportion, and surface quality are only a few of the variables that have to be considered.
My work is driven by observation, drawing and a huge amount of practical experiment at the work bench. Sometimes the drawings are directly related to the work or they can be just a step along the way.

Technique matters; the fire and the hammer are key elements which never change. I use the same technology as used by the ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks. The Etruscans taught me to love the colour of gold and inspired me to learn about granulation which depends on the particular qualities of high carat gold.
Reflection of light, the colours of silver and gold, and simple form are my priorities. Many women wear a piece of my work every day and I take that as the greatest compliment possible.’Linda Lewin, 2015.

‘When forged into shape with a hammer, the small rounded lump of metal which is surprisingly heavy, stretches like a piece of clay. With experience the shape can be determined by the direction of the hammer blows. The shape is lightly controlled so the edge can find its natural limits. Every link will be different and has a special place in the chain. This will only be revealed when all the links have been made.’
Linda Lewin, 2015.
