Uschi enrolled in a silversmithing course at the School of Art and Design in Bristol and learnt the many different techniques for making jewellery.

Her favourite techniques are fusing and reticulation, using heat and layers of silver to pattern and shape. She is passionate about texture and colour and often uses dichroic glass to enhance her patterns.
