My first job after graduating was working for the Sheffield Assay Office. During this time, I was invited to make items for the Assay Office Collection.
The first piece commissioned was a 9ct hinged Gold Box with coloured acrylic inlays.
I was invited to submit a design for a Condiment Set in sterling silver for the Assay Office Guardians monthly meetings.
The Assay Master encouraged me to make more sets, which were shown at the first contemporary show at Goldsmiths' Hall: "Loot" and "Super Loot". They were also exhibited at the Design Council
The Platinum Necklace was commissioned to show the platinum hallmarks and how they are applied. The piece is inlaid with coloured resins.
When the Assay Master heard of the Perovetz Cutlery competition to be held at the Goldsmiths Hall at the Loot exhibitions, he asked me to draw a design and make a set in 18ct gold. The set was one of 25 finalists in the competition.
