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.

Invite to Fingers Exhibition

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
