Another popular artist in the gallery is Hazel Atkinson. I was looking to introduce another jeweller to enhance the variety that is on show here already. I felt that Hazel's work was different in style but matched the quality of our other artists in this field. The brightly coloured and patterned pieces are totally hand made by Hazel in her studio in Nottingham. Using pure aluminium and a technique known as anodizing, Hazel hand paints the items using paints and dyes and a special fixing process which gives this range a durability which is not expected from such a light metal. I'm sure that her work will be popular here at The Teesdale Gallery especially as gifts for a younger generation.
