Teri Howes trained as a jeweller in 2000 at Kensington &
Chelsea College going on to establish her studio at London's famous
Cockpit Arts in 2005. Teri's work features her now signature
hand-crochet techniques in precious silver, gold and diamonds. She
shows regularly at Goldsmith's Fair, and other exhibitions in the
UK and internationally.
My approach to teaching is to equip students with the basic
techniques which they can use to create their own designs. Wire has
unique behaviours requiring practice and patience while learning.
With nearly 10 years teaching these specialist techniques I can
adapt my projects to suit beginners or more experienced
students.
My inspiration comes from growing up in a home brimful of
creativity, from my mother's treasure-filled sewing room to my
father's colourful paints and easels. I learnt to draw, paint, sew,
knit, bead, embroider - giving me a lifelong fascination with
applied arts.
