Caroline Brogden

Caroline Brogden is a jeweller who takes an experimental approach to her work using both precious metals and waste resin leftover from custom Surfboard manufacture. This waste material is known as Surfite and comes as slabs of bright colours which she then carves by hand. Her Surfite work is now her main body of work as she seeks to explore further ways to carve and use the material to create unique one-off pieces.

Caroline started her journey as jeweller creating simple hollow-formed pieces using different fold-forming techniques. It is a technique that she is still very passionate about today and loves passing these skills on. Using basic tools; wonderfully intricate pieces of work can be created which often mimic forms found in nature.
