SABRINA MEYNS
JEWELLER
Sabrina Meyns is a jeweller based in Co. Waterford. She makes jewellery inspired directly by botanical forms and structure. She is especially interested in the tiny, complex engineering that holds such structures together; seedpods, stamens, pistils and even the tiny seeds contained within all come under her scrutiny for inspiration.
Meyns works primarily in handmade paper and precious metals such as silver and gold and from these material combinations she creates delicate and detailed jewellery and small sculptural pieces. This choice of media best suits her fascination with capturing the translucency, fragility and ephemeral beauty that exists in nature. Sabrina is early in her career, having graduated from The National College of Art and Design, Dublin, Ireland with a first class honours degree in Craft Design in 2008. Since then she has co-established Workhouse Studios, a new craft collective dedicated to promoting design-led craft in Co. Waterford, Ireland.
