A master craftsman, Simon’s work is notable for its originality and contemporary use of materials, especially titanium. With Penelope Sturt-Bray as business manager, Simon Sturt-Bray Jewellery Design moved into its present purpose – built workshop and retail space in 1998. Located in the heart of the Adelaide Hills village of Stirling in South Australia, this lovely environment is now home to a thriving practice based firmly in the highest standards of making, customer service and creativity.

Subsequently Simon established a studio at the ‘old’ JamFactory premises on Payneham Road in Adelaide – a positive hotbed for contemporary craft practice at the time. Simon then moved his studio practice to Mount Barker and later opened his first retail premises in Aldgate, gradually establishing a fine reputation while constantly pushing the artistic boundaries of his chosen materials. Simon has continued to pass on his considerable knowledge of materials and craftsmanship to other makers, lecturing in jewellery making at various tertiary institutions and mentoring a number of emerging designer/makers as his own practice has developed to its present high standards. *************** Committee member, Jewellery Association of Australia *************** Simon Sturt Bray's work has been published in numerous catalogues and media outlets including Rolling Stone magazine and the book Body Piercing. *************** 2008 Masters ofJewellery exhibition, Stirling 2007 Masters of Jewellery exhibition, Stirling 2004 Master Craftsmen at JamFactory Contemporary Craft and Design for Wagner's Ring Cycle. 2004 selected by JamFactory for Sydney and Melbourne Art Shows [Australia] JamFactory Contemporary Craft and Design, Adelaide, Australia The Second Annual Ring Show, Zu design, Adelaide, Australia Victorian Arts Centre, Melbourne, Australia |
