This week we talk to Gaby Gassner!
When did you decide you wanted to create?
As
a little girl enjoyed drawing and making things. When I was 10 wanted to be a painter later I
decided photography was my thing. I
ended up as photographic printer in B&W in my first career and work with
some great photographers such as Bailey, Sean Ellis and Julian Broad and on some
amazing projects.
How did you get into it?
The
photographic industry switched to digital and I moved onto producing
photographic shoots but I missed being creative so when a favourite vintage
necklace broke I set about mending it and before I knew it I was hooked buying
beads by the hundreds to make my own designs.
Eventually I took the plunge and set up Gaby Gassner Jewellery.
What
inspires your work?
I’m
into art, photography, design, history and fashion and I have quite an
inquisitive mind. I’m forever looking
and trying to work out how something is made and all these elements feed into
the final designs.
What
is it that makes you work in that medium?
I
design and make beaded jewellery and I love the fact my jewellery develops
through hands-on approach by playing with different ideas until I hit on
something that works for me.
Are
there any other mediums you like to work with?
There are few other skills that I
would love to learn, once mastered I would like to incorporate into my work but
for the moment I’m just toying with ideas and haven’t settle on
anything….possible something to watch.
Describe
your products and what makes them unique?
My
designs are modern with a feminine sensibility. I would say the women who
choose my designs want something that is a bit different.
Do you have any advice for
aspiring designers?
