The Artist

Hi, I’m Claire, an artist and creator. Kinkora is my offering of handmade jewellery which has now expanded to encompass my tattoo work.

I combine traditional methods of Lost Wax and Silversmithing. As a self taught artisan I find joy in exploring new techniques and processes, viewing jewellery as an art form.

Through years of travel I have been expanding my tattoo work from hand poked tattoos to machine. This practice has enriched my life through deep connections and moments of trust.

Both jewellery making and tattoo work are deeply connected to themes of adornment, transformation, death, alchemy, and creativity. I feel honoured to share my exploration of these art forms with you.

With love, Claire
