Louise Nippierd |
From Alu Globe, september 1997 Since she started working with the metal four years ago, British-born designer Louise Nippierd says she hasn't used anything other than aluminium for her exotic pieces of jewelry. in fact, she is so taken by the potential that aluminium represents, that she regularly delivers lectures about anodised aluminium at the College og Arts and Crafts in Oslo. «After watching the anodising process, the possibilities literally flowed over me – in all colours,» she says. «I also like the flexibility of aluminium. Price? It's cheaper for me to use aluminium than silver, because i enjoy large pieces of jewelry.» The 35-year-old Nippierd adds that she would like to «make aluminium jewelry for the music video industry, where the effects are heightened.» |
