2018 News

Written By Rosie Fea 2018 In the early years of her career, contemporary jewellery maker Jessica Winchcombe realised she didn’t need, nor want, to be famous. A revolutionising premise that many others often take longer to come to terms with. Ironically, since she opted out of the rat race and aligned her priorities accordingly, the philosophical notion of surrendering the egos desperation to ‘conquer the world’ to instead live a life that feels true to oneself, has proved more than effective at bringing her prestige anyway… A string of successful events saw Jessica be a part of the Marzee Annual International Graduation Show in the Netherlands as a fresh graduate in 2011. She’s also toured Germany exhibiting with one of her heroes, Warwick Freeman, after being selected to participate in a global mentioning project called ‘Handshake’, and has continued to showcase her work throughout New Zealand and Europe ever since.

Exhibition in Milan- during fashion week 2017

Invite to Fingers Exhibition

August 1st - 12th 2011 Whitireia Polytechnic 2011 Graduating Students Award Recipient Jessica Winchcombe 'Protect' "Jessica Winchcombe has great potential as an international maker to watch. She has an energy rarely seen and has reached a maturity in her work, which is taking her to new heights. One of our own criteria that we attached to that of Fingers', involved an assessment of how the student had progressed from their mid-year solo show, to their graduation show at the completion of the year. Jess has done that with the most impact. Karl Fritsch and Lisa Walker (co-judges) agreed without any doubts, saying impressively, that Jessica’s new work is completely unique, stands alone, works very well as a cohesive body of work, works well on the body and has an international quality." Peter Deckers, Whitireia Polytechnic Jewellery Programme leader
