Graduating in Goldsmithing at the Berufsfachschule fuer Glas und Schmuck a German college whose teaching is highly infulenced by Bauhaus design and Philosophy. Kelvin took his MA in Silversmithing and Jewellery (awarded with distinction) from the Sir John Cass Faculty of Art in 1997.
To create his innovative body of work - sapphires, rubies, emeralds and other precious stones are smashed and then reconstructed on precious metal structures. These ‘stones’ may also be used alongside whole gems to create dynamic jewellery.
As Kelvin's work can be commissioned - unworn items of jewellery can be re-used, giving them new life and wearability.
Since 2017 Kelvin is also co-founder, co-director and tutor at K2 Academy of Contemporary Jewellery www.k2jewelleryacdemy.london based at Cockpit Arts Holborn
