Kate Caicedo
With a family history in the jewellery trade, Kate grew up around engraving tools, shellac, ring sizers, and rolling mills. A subtle pulse was created and over time a fascination began with metallurgy and the ability to manipulate metal with heat and tools.
Worldwide travels fueled a deep appreciation for ancient metalsmithing techniques and craftmanship particularly through the American southwest, Mexico, Colombia and Egypt. Silversmithing studies at the London University of the Arts cemented these interests, along with further studio studies in Mallorca, Spain and home in Sydney, Australia.
