Emma Kidson has been running her own jewellery practice for fifteen years, studying a Bachelor of Arts Jewellery at Charles Sturt University, graduating with distinction in 2007 and launching Kidson Jewellery in 2008. Emma’s focus is on quality craftsmanship and materials. She handcrafts every piece in her Wagga Wagga studio. Where possible, she sources her metals from recycled resources to lessen the impact of her practice on the environment. Emma creates her own collection of work inspired by Japanese aesthetic, Australian flora and succulent gardens. As the granddaughter and daughter of two prolific gardeners, the love of botanical themes and motifs is ingrained in her very being.
