About
Sleekit Beasties
Hi my name is Nichola. I graduated in Illustration and Printmaking at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee. Through this grounding in Illustration I discovered a love for creating silver jewellery through taking night classes in silversmithing.
​
I am constantly inspired by the natural world and seek to portray some of it's beauty and strength in my work. I have always been fascinated by the animals around me and this features heavily in what I do. I like to think that my pieces tell a story, be that through the subject, choice of materials or textures created.

At The Bench
I work primarily in Sterling Silver (hallmarked through the Edinburgh Assay Office), building up layers and depth through using a variety of textures, marks, stone settings and sometimes moving parts. All pieces are my original designs. Some pieces are wholly unique whilst others are made using a lost wax casting method.
​
I love to take on commissions, working from the clients brief or description of what they are looking for. I produce initial sketches and mock ups, making sure the client is one hundred percent happy before working on the final product.
​
All of my work is designed and created in Edinburgh, Scotland.
