Interview: Jeweller Fiona Hamilton-Walker
October 3, 2011
Fiona Hamilton-Walker has been making sterling silver jewellery for several years from her workroom in North Bristol. She likes to texture and twist silver and copper and embellish it with semi precious stones.
We caught up with Fiona last week to ask her a few questions,
1: What do you enjoy about creating jewellery?
I enjoy hammering the metals into interesting shapes.
2: Do you have a favourite Christmas song and why?
I’m not religious but my favourite album at Christmas time is Aretha Franklin One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism – it’s so full of energy and great to sing along to whilst making Christmas lunch!
3: What has inspired you during 2011?
I have been inspired in 2011 by visiting lots of different and diverse exhibitions both in Bristol and London.
4: What do you love about Bristol’s creative scene?
The creative scene in Bristol is massive – so much wonderful and creative work going on in a relatively small area.
