Hayley Beckley is a designer maker who specializes in textiles. She graduated from the prestigious Birmingham School of Jewellery in 2014 with a BA (hons) in Jewellery and Silversmithing. She has worked as a freelance costume maker and designer for several years and continues to take on freelance projects alongside her work as a jewelry artist. Beckley is an accomplished craftswoman and aims to create a body of work that combines art jewelry, couture fashion accessories and sustainable design, while challenging boundaries in each discipline. One of her collections,‘Found in the Forest,’ relates a personal tale of finding ones place in the world, drawing inspiration from the memories, imaginings and visual enchantment of woodland walks under ever-changing skies. This collection of unique, structural collars, cuffs and bow ties, is made from digitally printed silk, hand pleated and finished with a delicate recycled sterling silver.
