Hi! I’m Carmel. Growing up, I was always creating something, from making greeting cards to upcycling anything I could make more beautiful. I always had something under construction. I went away from it in my early twenties but in my last twenties when making a career change the choice was an easy one. I dabbled in a few different crafts such as Ceramics and Stained Glass before finding my passion with jewellery design. I love working with Copper it’s so malleable and eye-catching with its unique red-orange hue. It’s so versatile because it’s easy to shape, inprint and engrave. I love the fact that it has medicinal qualities too. I was accepted into the Kite Design Studios in Waterford and I was over the moon.
