Inspired by the seasons and the Northumberland coast Laura Hebron creates texture rich Jewellery designs using various objects found on the beach, harbours and ports. She contradicts their dismissal from the sea and coastal industries by manipulating them into something precious to be seen and to be worn. From a textile background, she constructs braids and rope work using traditional Fisherman’s techniques to create unique pieces of wearable Art.

Laura Hebron is hitting back at our throwaway fashion culture by producing locally made, hand crafted, recyclable Jewellery. The perfect accessory of our time.

'I collect curious objects from beaches and harbours. They are unique, historic, and part of where we come from. I showcase them… They have more character than anything purpose built for jewellery, so why not?’

Laura Hebron (2010)
