About Ebba
In 2009 Ebba graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art
and Design, Dundee, with an honours degree in Jewellery and Metal
Design. Since then, she has set up her own jewellery workshop in
the gallery she runs with her partner, The Tayberry Gallery in
Perth, which specialises in applied arts.
As well as making ‘one off’ pieces for exhibitions and taking
commissions, she also makes collections for boutique shops and
galleries.
Ebba’s vision
Ebba’s jewellery combines domestic crafts skills that have been
handed down from generation to generation and modern
jewellery-making techniques.
For over a year she has been working with the theme of ‘New
Domesticity’, transforming hand-crocheted cotton and lace designs
into pieces of silver jewellery. The resulting work combines more
traditional textile pieces with home imagery, colourful elements of
industrial powder coated metal and precious stones.
This theme of preserving domestic craft skills and the
preciousness of home life is a big influence on Ebba’s work. The
crochet techniques she uses were taught to her by her mother, and
the lace making techniques were learned on a lace-making course in
the Mull of Kintyre.
