About Me Page

Hi I am Louise Holman Clarke

Owner of Firefusionbylou & my page TexturesTools&Jewels on Facebook

  I am passionate about animals, nature, travelling and cultures. I try to capture their essence in my work

 

 


Where does the inspiration for firefusionbylou come from?


TEXTURE MATS WITH PRECISION

I create texture mats using a precise laser that passes light through a beam  after I've designed the texture, so innovative! 

The laser burns, and engraves the material, leaving a unique design. It took me months to perfect the techniques for my machine as there are very specific and unique parameters needed to achieve the perfect texture mat. 

I am constantly amazed by the endless possibilities that can be achieved with the right textures, each design telling a unique story. Below are some of my Celtic Mandala, each design is intricately precise in detail.


A LITTLE BIT OF SILVER MAGIC FIRED IN A KILN

I like to make silver Jewellery to sell on my website & craft fairs, I fire the finished product in a kiln using a product called metal Clay. 

The metal clay I utilise is Art Clay Silver 999 fine silver, and Art Clay Silver 950 sterling.

These are the premier brand names for the esteemed metal clay which is sourced from Japan, crafted from recycled silver materials, thus embodying sustainability.

What do my customers like about my products?

 

They love the different designs I create, I listen to what they want me to design and can create something that can be used in their designs. If I can create I will, custom designs can be made for the individual who does not want to share their design.

The designs always come out perfectly, they will leave a complex and intricate design in the clay.

They are easy to use and can be used over and over again

They love my products which is always lovely to hear!


My customers love to share their designs

              These beautiful stud earrings were made by one of my customers. Made in silver using silver clay and Amoeba texture mat.        Two heart shaped pendants in 999 silver embossed with a mystic flower debossed texture mat design. One has an accent of gold.

About Me

 I live in a small rural town Heathfield .......in the beautiful countryside of East Sussex in the United Kingdom. My work is inspired by the countryside around me and the sea. 

Hastings was my home town from birth, a seaside town in East Sussex. I live not far from other seaside towns and cities such as Eastbourne and Brighton.

As a change of career I worked as a draughtswomen for five years and in an architectural office for two years and have CAD training in 3D. These skills have helped me use the technical programmes needed to make my products.

Over  past few years I have taken courses in the art of Metal Clay with Learn silver clay on line and the silver clay school alongside classes in Metalsmithing. I learnt about making beautiful Jewellery with  Metal Clay
