If you’re looking for a gift for someone special, or you think you’re ready for a little indulgence, Birgitte will be exhibiting at the Memorial Hall on Saturday.
Birgitte’s describes her work this way:
For the past 5 years I have learnt the art of Jewellery Making through various evening classes and City & Guild Courses. I now have my own workshop and participated in Cambridge Open Studios for the first time last year.
Scandinavian Design influences me; my pieces are simple, contemporary in design and accessible to wear. I like to produce contrasts in my work, whether by texturing, oxidising or milling the Silver. I particularly enjoy shaping the metal by forging and planishing and many of my pieces involve these techniques. I have also begun to include interesting semi-precious stones in my designs.
I am a member of Cambridge Open Studios and will be participating again this year; I have a gallery outlet in Saffron Walden.

Jo Tunmer is an oil painter specialising in contemporary landscapes.
Canvas, wood and canvas paper are her preferred surfaces onto which she layers paint then scratches the surface revealing the colours below. She sometimes uses pure graphite pencil and gold and silver leaf.
