Holly is a jeweller and silversmith based at Yorkshire Artspace in Sheffield, working with her clients to create highly bespoke pieces of jewellery & wall art that tell their stories.
Using the contour lines of landscapes that are meaningful to them, the patterns are cut into metal then hand formed, resulting in 3D layered structures.
Incredibly personalisable, the maps are often detailed with gemstone location markers, engraved rivers, initials or coordinates and important dates.
Frances is a planetary scientist and glaciologist. She researches the history of glaciation on Mars and Earth.
Frances' Mars research primarily uses data returned to Earth from satellites orbiting the Red Planet.
Frances pursued a PhD in Planetary Science after completing an undergraduate degree in Geography.
