The new jewellery movement was all about looking at and using different non-traditional materials and I was really taken with it. Lots of new, interesting materials were being used on the course and we experimented with different materials like resin, fibre glass and acrylic and one tutor, who was a keen angler, bought in some nylon fishing line. I spent a lot of time playing around with the fishing lines and experimented with knitting and knotting it. I also learnt to use dye to colour it.
How come you decided to concentrate on nylon thread rather than any of the other materials you experimented with at Brighton?
