Jed Green
Jed Green designs and makes jewellery using a variety of materials including glass, silver, gold, wood, paint, pearls, stainless steel and paper to create innovative contemporary and exclusively hand made, one-off pieces.
From clear, hollow borosilicate glass tubes various shapes are lamp worked, carved and cut to form various shapes. Moving pieces or clusters of these are linked together by drilling and pinning. Colour is applied by painting the interior of the glass wall and applying handmade transfers to pattern the outside.
Her recent collection incorporates precious metals as an integral part of the work. As well as setting silver wires into the carved glass she has now included gold elements to add warmth and colour. The concept of creating micro-environments has become more sophisticated developing three dimensional collages, using material, pattern and form.
Jed is constantly searching for new ways to express her creativity and inspirations in glass. She is inspired by the idea of using an inexpensive everyday material and turning it into something unique and precious.
