Lizzie graduated from The Jewellery Skills and Design Certificate Course in June 2023.

Previously working in museums and heritage, Lizzie discovered her passion for making jewellery after attending part time courses in York, UK and Dublin, and decided to pursue this with the Full Time certificate course.

Influenced by fairytales and a love of wildlife, Lizzie’s collections are inspired by childhood daydreams and memories of exploring the countryside.

Lizzies collections of ‘blossoms’ and ‘brambles‘ draw upon nature, focusing on creating realistic details including hidden treasures of blackberries and bugs to be discovered. 

In February 2023, Lizzie began working with Deirdre part-time while training on the Full Time Course. On graduation she was promoted to Studio Manager while also continuing her training as a Goldsmith. She also applies the training that she gained on the Full Time Certificate Course and assists with all studio management. She is an invaluable member of the team at Deirdre O'Donnell Contemporary Jewellery.
