nbNg is the work of self instructed metalsmith & jeweller Nettie Birch. Nettie started her practice full time after being made redundant from the printing ink industry and uses her problem-solving background to explore the limits of material and technique. Nettie uses both hand raising and foldforming to create tablewares in pewter and silver and decorative objects in patinated copper.
