The English Oak Tree (latin: Quercus robur) is native to most of Europe, but is cultivated in temperate regions, and has naturalized in parts of China and North America. He is a large deciduous tree, with a large circumference up to 4 – 12 meters!
The Majesty Oak is the thickest tree in Great Britain, with a circumference of 12.2 meters. He generally grows for a few centuries, though there are some known to be older, especially if they are regularly coppiced. ‘Kongeegen’ (‘Kings Oak’) is estimated to be 1200 years old in Jaegerspris, Denmark, while another specimen in Kvilleken, Sweden, is over 1000 years old and has a 14m circumference.
The Oak Tree is a symbol of power and strength, wisdom and longevity.
I work with copper wire of various gauges to create nature-inspired jewellery and sculpture. I love the tactile feel of working with the metal, and the warmth of the copper as my hands work with it.
It starts on the drawing board. I sketch out ideas, keeping my pencil on the page to mimic a length of wire. I aim to create smooth movement from end to end. I coax the copper into its shape, using my hands to keep the lines smooth and pliers for more precision or hard angles. I use my steel block and hammer to tap some texture and harden the metal to strengthen it and help it hold its shape.
