About Katie Waston

Katie Waston starts with a walk through woodlands, along the coast and across mountains.Mainly around her hometown of North Berwick and The Isle of Arran in Scotland.

 

On these adventures she draws and studies anything that captures her attention in detail, and create a design enriched by her imagination.

 

Using silver as a canvas, Katie translate her drawings onto the metals surface using chasing and repoussé and from this she produces wonderlands of nature in unique pieces of jewellery and silverware.

 

Katie’s work aims to transport you on a journey outdoors, immersed in nature and surrounded by wildlife. She likes to bring scenes to life by conveying a sense of movement within a piece, from the interweaving flow of water ripples, wild grasses swaying in the wind and birds soaring high.
