Will Evans

Will Evans started his jewellery career as an apprentice to a master-blacksmith and has since progressed to making highly sophisticated stylish jewellery incorporating fine gold inlay. Much of his work has a linear feel to it and his distinctive use of gold inlay helps to define or even defy the form of the pieces, blurring the boundaries between line and three-dimensional form. Will uses techniques such as folding, forging and soldering precious metals to create striking and unusual shapes. The majority of Will's work is one-off pieces, created by working closely with a commissioning client.
