About

Handmade Work

The value of making work by hand is integral to everything I produce. With a skill-set ranging from fine art drawing and painting, to design and the fine craft skills of jewellery, metalsmithing and weaving, I can produce works that are unique and timeless. I am passionate and dedicated to the work I make, whether it’s a ring or a panting, no matter the piece, I give it my all and produce work of high quality.

Influenced by Celtic, Norse, and Japanese aesthetics, Dylan works with ideas related to the passage of time, identity. He explores these themes through various artistic practices, including: jewellery + metals, textiles, drawing, and painting. Dylan integrates the values of enduring quality and the authenticity of hand-made work into all his pieces.
