The main area of interest for Belfast based jeweller Rachel McKnight is in the properties of non-precious materials such as polypropylene, acrylic and nylon coated stainless steel; their tensile strengths, flexibility and translucency. From combinations of these materials she constructs necklaces, bangles, earrings and rings, each cut or punched from plastic sheet and assembled to form highly ornamental jewellery. Rachel was in the first round of ‘Making It’, the Craft NI 2 year business support programme. Since then she has seen her business and reputation grow, international exhibitions include SOFA Chicago and Origin, London.
