For Deborah Sanderson, a chance discovery of a jar of old buttons led to a love of mother of pearl. Every piece is crafted using the most basic tools and is created with silver recycled from broken jewellery, coins and cutlery. By making with found materials, it is an effort to reduce the mining of precious metals.
Her pieces emulate natural, textured surfaces by using the technique of reticulation, which shows an unexpected movement in the metal and a depth that reflects a true handmade process.
Deborah is proud that the recycled silver and reclaimed precious materials used in her work are sourced from local thrift shops that support employment programs and charitable causes.
