Cheryl Sills graduated with an honours degree in jewellery and metalwork from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee, Scotland in 1999, and since moving to New Zealand has become one of the partners of Workshop 6, a studio that provides space for a collective of practicing contemporary jewellers.
Cheryl enjoys the process of making, of building and constructing three dimensional objects. Her current body of work explores the faceted form. She is constantly trying to evolve this concept with the use of alternative materials, such as silicone and acrylic, alongside traditional precious metals and by inventing different methods of construction.
