The
work of Louise Shotter is very original and inventive and has received
a fantastic reaction since it was put on display.
Although
Louise is now based in the south of the UK she is no stranger to
Worcestershire and for a time lived in Droitwich.
Louise
said 'I have been working with silver for the past two years. In
this time my work has developed, evolved and gained strength with
what I hope is a unique style.
"I
originally trained as a potter, selling my work all over the UK,
but was forced to change direction.
"The
challenge has been inspiring, starting from afresh and looking at
things with a new eye.
Inspiration is everywhere, from luggage tags and everyday objects,
wildlife and love.

"Using
silver, gold and precious gems the range of work is wide and varied'.
Many
pieces are one of a kind; each piece is unique and individually
designed and made by Louise.
Each
piece has her own registered hallmark.
Steve
Allen of the bohemia gallery said. 'Both Louise and her work are
a joy, her ideas are just great, the 'Memory' bangles that are stamped
and imprinted with what ever message you want - your wedding day,
children's names and dates of birth or to your favourite poem, make
a very special and treasured piece of jewellery.
"I
love the solid silver 'shark' necklace for the boys, apart from
being a stunning piece of jewellery it doubles as a 'chip fork'!
