Steve Grimace

Captain Grimace has been making silver jewellery for around ten years. A couple of years into his journey he started specialising in wax carving, in order to create fully sculptural pieces, and has been perfecting his technique ever since. He regularly takes on a wide range of jewellery commissions, often making quite outlandish ideas into solid reality, and has been teaching silver work and wax carving for the last 3 years.
