ZOE ARNOLD


‘I don’t particularly like being described as a jeweller, simply because most peoples perceptions of what a jeweller is, or does, are completely  wrong in relation to my work. I do make jewellery, but I write poetry, short stories, make automata and larger more sculptural works. In the past an artist would have had many strings to their bow, but now society likes to file us under comfortable titles, and these don’t always fit.’
