Hazel studied Silversmithing and a wide variety of jewellery making at Queens Road College of Art in Bristol.
Hazel work's mostly in silver but combines the use of copper and semi precious stones and precious metal clay to create interesting and distinctive jewellery.
Much of Hazel's inspiration comes from religious imagery, she bases alot of her work around the heart in all shaes and forms. Humour is also an elemt in her designs and the love of all things quirky along with vintage style.
Hazel is in the process of setting up a business with a friend in recycled furniture, clothes, chine and jewellery.

'Earthy Goodness' is a collection of elegant and unique jewellery, created by jewellery artist Corinne Evans.
Organic patterns, structures and colours are the main inspiration behind the collection.
Corinne has limited control over the colours and patterns in her designs, which makes them feel more natural. Nature has always been an inspiration to Corinne.
She grew up in rural Wales, where she has fond memories of collecting pretty pebbles, shells and flowers. In 2010, Corinne obtained a BaHons in Metalwork and Jewellery Design from Sheffield Hallam University.
When not in the workshop, Corinne can often be found volunteering at Bristol Zoo Gardens.
Visit Corinne's
website and come on in to the Looking Glass from 23rd August to view her work!
