Rachel Dorris’ main body of work is her Vessel jewellery collection. Vessel incorporates smooth hollow silver forms placed to represent a range of natural objects such as shells and tiny leaves on twigs. Increasing the scale of the work, Rachel uses the forms to encase crushed gems, representing enticing rock geodes. On occasion, Rachel also manipulates the silver elements closed to represent a more man-made, vessel-like, structure.
Rachel’s latest body of work, entitled Icicle, uses the same vessel elements combined with delicately woven wire pods to produce limited edition creations.
Prior to working in this field, Rachel worked as a Medical Physicist for the NHS for nine years. During this time, she spent 4 years attending jewellery design and silversmithing evening classes at Morley College, London. In 2005, she decided to take the plunge and pursue a full-time career in jewellery design. Since its launch in 2005, the Vessel range has attracted a faithful following of collectors and enjoyed success in many top galleries in the UK and Ireland.
