Faulks Metalwork

Hi! I'm Leah, a final year Jewellery and Metal Design student about to graduate from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design.

​

I am a craftsperson responding to the belief that diversity, youth and fresh perspectives are essential to evolve craft traditions for modern Scotland. I am part of a new generation of makers transferring heritage craft skills to redesign traditional Scottish metalwork.

​

I craft objects informed by my personal experience of Scottishness by focusing on authenticity, comfort and playfulness. I combine the traditional handcraft techniques of silversmithing and casting with contemporary digital techniques of 3D printing and CNC milling. The work aims to become living heritage with objects designed to be held and enjoyed.
