Label

The outlines of Peterson’s brooches are silhouettes of overlapping images of jewellery; the rounded shapes of beads, cameos and pins. The metal and wire structures in combination with the Swarovski crystals are dipped in a brightly coloured plastic coating. Large Silhouette hints at the visual language behind the three pieces. The versatility of the dipped coating provides Peterson with a range of different brooches and a good palette for using colour. Peterson has an MA, Goldsmithing, Silversmith, Metalwork and Jewellery from the Royal College of Art, London. She is a 2006 Crafts Council Development Award recipient.
