stop no. 1
Meredith, a BFA graduate in Jewellery Design and Metalsmithing from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (2002), has also studied at Kookmin University (Seoul, Korea) and apprenticed with goldsmith James Bradshaw of Halifax, NS. She lives in Almonte.
Kucey’s ambition is to create jewellery that stirs the senses. She loves working with her hands and is inspired by the textures of materials. constantly experimenting with form, pushing a material to its limit. She respects the fluidity of metal, the way it looks raw, and strives to bring the piece to a work of art. She describes her sterling silver as multi-dimensional, created with a high standard of craftsmanship.
“For the last twenty years, I have been making jewellery at a professional level. I fabricate my jewellery from sterling silver sheet, tubing, casting grain and wire and incorporate semi-precious stones, beads and pearls into my works. I also build my pieces in wax, then cast them myself in sterling silver and gold. I design, fabricate and cast all my own work.”
