Award-winning jewellery designer Hayley Beckley chooses
textile as the medium to express her creativity and to showcase art on the
human body in a contemporary and wearable way.
Each piece from her ‘Found in the Forest’ collection
features silk that has been digitally printed with layered photographs of tree
silhouettes against beautiful skies.
The intricate prints are combined with
delicate sterling silver embellishments.
Uniquely hand-made by Hayley, who uses creative pattern drafting and
precision sewing to produce the unisex collection of unique collars, cuffs and
bow ties.
Having graduated from the prestigious Birmingham School of
Jewellery in 2014 with a BA (hons) in Jewellery and Silversmithing, she is an
accomplished craftswoman she aims to create a body of work that combines art
jewellery, couture fashion accessories and sustainable design as are
demonstrated on the unique pieces shown here.
Hayley describes herself as “a compulsive maker, discoverer
and dreamer who seeks to explore the unique narrative quality of wearable art
and its interaction with the human form.”
Through her work, she attempts to narrate the importance of
stories and communication; express a delight in and respect for the
environment; and sensitively create positive connections to the world and the
people around her.
Hayley has worked as a freelance costume maker and designer
for several years and continues to take on freelance projects alongside her
work as a jewellery artist. She is currently an Artist in Residence at Birmingham School
of Jewellery working with current BA Jewellery Design & Related Products
students. Details on Hayley Beckley's designs are available on her website. Click HERE.
