ChatElaine Jewellery is the creative genius of Elaine Thornton. She lives in Dunstable and has been making jewellery for over 15 years. She taught herself using step-by-step tutorials from bead catalogues and books. She started doing this because she couldn’t get jewellery to fit without needing to alter it. She’s taken several art and craft courses at colleges and has completed a variety of creative courses.
Colour plays a big part in her designs, as well as, line, shapes and organic imagery. Elaine loves non-uniformity or asymmetrical styles and the need to balance her jewellery is a challenge at times. American magazines also influence Elaine in a big way. Her new found passion is lampwork bead making.
In the future Elaine hopes to start hosting jewellery making parties again. She also has many other plans to learn more new techniques to incorporate into her jewellery.
