About Anne Morgan
Anne Morgan is an established, award winning, contemporary jeweller based in Wales. Her signature style celebrates texture and is inspired by the natural world. A celebration of the perfectly imperfect.
Anne enjoys silver’s potential for texture and her practice explores the relationship between 'look and feel' in the materials she uses. Anne’s specialism is to use a technique called reticulation, and her creations proudly show off their origins through workshop experimentation.
This is what makes her reticulated silver surfaces particularly unique: each marks a precise moment in which she withdraws her flame from part-liquefied silver. The form as well as the technique have always taken inspiration from nature, and the contrasts of texture and shape that can be found there. Particularly in her latest Athena collection, where the juxtaposition of the textured white pearls’ placement highlights the silver shapes that Anne creates.
Anne was born in Keynsham, brought up in Somerset and Warwickshire and has always had a passion for jewellery. After gaining a BA (Hons) in Designed Metalwork and Jewellery at Buckinghamshire College, High Wycombe she moved to Cardiff to continue developing her signature style. Anne has always loved the imperfect elements of her discipline.
In 2015, Anne was able to forge her dream to open a permanent gallery display, championing and showcasing the best of contemporary jewellery in the UK. The ethos of Anne Morgan the designer translates fully into the Anne Morgan Jewellery gallery - jewellery expressed as the stories of the lives we lead. The gallery embodies a commitment to artistry, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Its ethos revolves around the celebration of unique, handcrafted pieces that tell a story, emphasizing the importance of individuality in a world dominated by mass production.
