Florals From Raw Wire As Seen In Vogue

Holly Berkley

We’re thrilled to welcome Holly Berkley, a dazzling wire artist whose work transforms raw metal into delicate florals, heirloom jewellery and sculptural pieces with story. Introduced to jewellery-making as a teenager, Holly went on to study art at degree level and master an array of techniques including beading, wrapping, weaving (including Viking weave), Peruvian wire work and silversmithing which is now woven into her signature style.

Holly is renowned for her hand-woven bridal crowns and bespoke commissions, meticulously shaping flowers and leaves from straight wire to match a client’s vision. A passionate tutor for over a decade, she has taught everywhere from The Bishop’s Palace, Wells and Bristol Museum & Art Gallery to Butser Ancient Farm, and she’s created popular wire-working kits for crafting at home. Her first Search Press project book is due in late 2025, and her work has appeared in Vogue (three issues), Country Living, Somerset Life, Craft Focus and more.

While Holly will be busy teaching workshops during the show, her stand is still a must-visit. Explore a curated display of her wire artistry, pick up project kits, and browse the Holly Berkley Craft Imaginarium, a trove of vintage and unusual supplies sourced from auctions and antique markets. You’ll find handy guides and inspiration for mindful making, plus one-of-a-kind pieces you won’t see anywhere else. Stop by to feel the spark of wire brought to life.
