Sheila originally trained at Glasgow School of Art, then at the
Royal College of Art. She has been teaching adults at West Dean for
several years
Her work features enamel on silver and 18ct gold with 24ct gold
details, combining many traditional enamel and engraving techniques
with an informal painterly style.
Drawing, watercolour and the Arts and Crafts are major
influences.
My approach is to encourage students to become involved in the
enamelling process as quickly as possible. I love sharing my
knowledge and passion for enamel … everyone has transferrable
skills.
