Victoria Martin

After graduating in 1991 Victoria moved to Los Angeles where she accepted various commissions and exhibited in several galleries.
Since returning to the UK in 1994 she has been successfully trading, supported by the Prince's Youth Business Trust winning the Prince's Trust focal point award for innovation, professional design and marketing excellence.

In 1996 Victoria moved to rural Oxfordshire to complete a one year residentship at Bishopsland; and then went on to run a Contemporary Craft Gallery in Wiltshire in the early part of 1997 until 2002 Victoria then took a workshop in Walford Mill Craft Centre in Dorset where she returned to making full time, developing several new ranges of work. In 2011 Victoria moved to Spetisbury in Dorset where she is now working from home continually striving to produce new and exciting jewellery working on making pieces that have a personnel connection with the wearer. Hoping to produce jewellery that instils warmth and love into our world.

Victoria's work includes both batch produced and custom made jewellery, using silver and crystals. Another range uses words to touch and connect with the wearer. Inspired by flora and fauna, each piece of work is as in nature, completely unique. Victoria has worked with flax & finch to produce their signature necklace for their charity of choice 'Lets do it anyway' and looks forward to working on more pieces for them in the future.
