Having graduated from Central School of Art in London, Jessica

investigations into print-making techniques for enamel, formed the
focus of her postgraduate study at University of the West of England
(UWE), Bristol. Jessica’s current studio practice includes the
production of both jewellery and larger scale enamel work for
exhibition.
