Meet the Artist!
My name is Tsedey, which means “Springtime” in Amharic, an Ethiopian language, a name that reflects the spirit behind everything I create, growth, change, and the quiet beauty of nature.
I grew up in Ethiopia, where creativity was part of everyday life. My mum was a cloth designer with a small shop, and although my dad encouraged us to focus on academics, I was always drawn to making things.
In 2002, married with two young boys and living in Berkshire, I enrolled in evening jewellery classes at East Berkshire College. What began as a creative outlet quickly grew into a true passion.
In 2014, my husband Gareth and I left our day jobs and moved to France, where we opened a small craft shop and workshop. Surrounded by nature, I refined my silversmithing skills and found a style that felt truly my own.
Over time, I introduced vibrant enamels, woven fabrics and carefully selected semiprecious stones into my designs, and for special commissions, I also work in gold. When the pandemic closed our shop, I turned to silk painting, creating scarves and hand-painted cards inspired by the same colours and textures that shape my jewellery.
In 2023, we returned to the UK and settled in Buckingham to be closer to family. Since then, I’ve reconnected with the local creative community through monthly markets at Manor Farm, Bourton, Bucks Art Weeks, and exhibitions at the Obsidian Art Gallery and Freya Gallery in Buckingham. I’m also part of Church Lane Gallery in Banbury, a cooperative of artists where we share the running of the gallery and exhibit our work. I also take part in Christmas markets during the festive season.
Today, from my home studio, I continue to design and make jewellery while sharing my skills by teaching silversmithing techniques.
