Jewellery designer Sam Holmes has been selected for Bluecoat Display Centre‘s ‘In the Window’ display for June 2025, chosen from the graduating makers who exhibited at Manchester School of Art Graduate show, MMU in 2024
‘My journey as a jewellery designer began with a profound love for the outdoors, where I draw endless inspiration from nature’s intricate details and ever-changing landscapes. From the vibrant colours of wildflowers to the rugged textures of stones, I find creative fuel in the world around me. My process goes beyond craftsmanship; it’s a hands-on, immersive experience that connects me to the environment.
Each piece I create is a reflection of the moments spent gathering materials, sculpting designs, and letting the essence of the natural world guide my vision. Through my work, I aim to craft not just jewellery, but an experience—a story that celebrates the beauty of our planet, inviting others to carry a piece of nature’s elegance with them, wherever they go.’- Sam Holmes
