Patricia Needham has been creating jewellery for four years. A trained actress, she began making jewellery as another means of creative expression.

Patricia is inspired by anything and everything; from objects, to nature, to people. Her favourite materials to work with are glass beads, silver and wire. She is constantly experimenting with different techniques to create truly unique pieces of jewellery.

Patricia lives in Bristol with lots of beads and her (very patient) husband. When not making jewellery or attending craft shows, Patricia can usually be found at the theatre or curling up at home with a DVD box set and a glass of wine.

I am passionate about design, clothing, textiles and our amazing planet. All my creations are made in Bristol based studio powered partly by renewable energy. In my upcycled creations I use only damaged clothing (which I expertly repair or avoid the the damaged area), and reclaimed/recycled materials. Each raw material is scrutinised, planned and utilised to create as little waste as possible. Off-cuts are used in other creations and when eventually my scraps can get no smaller, they are used for stuffing or recycled.

My prices reflect the love, time and effort that has been given to the creation to ensure a minimum wage so that I can continue to practice in an environmentally sustainable way. 

When buying ‘Tatty Gem’s’ you can feel confident that you have chosen to buy ethically and own a piece of truly Sustainable Style.
