Tehila Designs Greater London, United Kingdom
Hi I'm Veronica Umoetuk. I create art jewellery. I originally worked as a contract legal and health information professional/librarian in various trade associations until 2008. After the recession I decided to retrain and went on to study Jewellery manufacture and design at the British Academy of Jewellery in London. I’m also a self taught fibre artist I make small items for the home.
The idea behind each jewellery piece comes from my personal life journey and experiences. Being able to share my life struggles through a medium that touches people enabled me to birth Tehila Designs. The pieces are not to be regarded as just a form of beauty or body adornment alone. The intentional bashes and textures on the surface tell a story that life isn’t perfect, but with our flaws, challenges, and disappointments we can continue to thrive forward. I create small batches of unique art pieces centered around emotional well-being for the purposeful individual.
I have a new addition to my practice making homeware/lifestyle products using fabrics like yarn and natural cotton all recycled and sustainably produced. The items I craft are mainly repurposed vases, wall art and tableware. I’ll be uploading images to my profile from October 2022.
