Bárbara Laso was born in Sobarzo, Cantabria, Spain, 1978. She studied photography at the Oviedo School of Arts. She worked for almost 20 years in this preference. Two years ago, she decided to change her life, taking a radical turn, she began her jewellery studies at the Mestre Mateo School, Santiago de Compostela, Galicia. A personal encounter that arises in the experimentation of found and alternative materials, without any type of treatment, as in the case of the stones on the beach, where you add small brass figures giving meaning and completion to the pieces, you and I have points of union

The Blog Interviews feat. Wiebke Pandikow

Wiebke Pandikow is an amazing jewellery artist, who I am thrilled to present to you in this edition of The Blog Interviews. I can’t exactly remember how I discovered her, but I recall being amazed by the fact that she uses plastic bags in her works because her pieces do not resemble the initial state of the material at all. The way she works with the plastic is so skilful that you would never guess what they are made of.

The Blog Interviews feat. Juanjo Garcia Martin

I am delighted to continue The Blog Interviews by introducing Juan José García Martín (or JuanJo as he prefers). I had the pleasure to meet him briefly during the Collectiva Meeting '19 | International Exhibition in which I had some pieces exhibited, alongside a few other jewellery artists from all around the world, including JuanJo.

His work is very poetic, with influences from both painting and architecture. To me, they all seem like they come out of a storybook, just waiting to be discovered and to tell their story. If you haven’t seen JuanJo’s work before, I really encourage you to do so! You can thank me later :)

The Blog Interviews feat. Emma Morris

We are kicking off the series with an interview with Emma Morris. She is an amazing jewellery designer whom I stumbled upon randomly on Instagram. I instantly liked her work and started following her, and little did I know then that she would end up giving me a couple of very important pieces of information about some tools and techniques. I really appreciate and am happily impressed when people reply to questions from strangers and give advice and tips to others about techniques or materials that they are using. I believe that as long as you don't give out your 'secret ingredient' that makes your work yours, sharing tips and tricks is something we should all do
