Emma Tuprin Jeweller

Emma Turpin began her creative path by studying 3 Dimensional design at Hertford Regional College, where she specialised in jewellery. After college Emma Turpin attended Middlesex University where she graduated in 2005 with a BA (Hons) in jewellery. Whilst at University, Emma Turpin began work experience at The Gowan Gallery, where she continues to freelance and sell her ‘Maiden’s Garlands’ collection. We asked her 5 questions:
Where is your studio? My studio is currently in Hertfordshire, but I will soon be relocating to Essex.
Where do you find your inspiration? I draw inspiration from Victorian folk life and craft. Including buildings, interiors and exteriors.
What was the first piece of jewellery you ever made? I made several pieces whilst at college. I think my first ever piece was a silver ring. I then went onto to make a collection of spoons for a project.
Who is/was your favourite jeweller? I do not really have a specific favourite jeweller. There are so many who I admire. I really like Jane Moore’s enamelled work.
If you weren’t a jeweller, what would you be? I’ve always either wanted to be a archeologist or a police woman.
and finally What is your biscuit of choice when enjoying a cup of tea and a think? Oooh thats a hard one, so many biscuits. Probably a BourBon.
