Ebba Redman: designer jeweller

Home is where her heart is.

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.
