Based in Newcastle, Doris Jurzak is a multi-disciplinary Designer-Maker.

Founded in more experimental exhibition work, her jewellery practice is now focused on the design and production of wearable, limited edition and bespoke pieces. Doris is attracted to the flexibility of contemporary jewellery, the technical aspects of fine jewellery, and the infinite possibilities that come from combining the two.

Her inspiration is usually from human behaviour, together with patterns and forms found in nature. Line and repetition, together with curved forms, tend to feature in her designs.

A graduate of Jewellery and Object Design and Jewellery Manufacture from Design Centre Enmore (Sydney, Australia), Doris also has extensive skills and experience relating to textiles and surface design. These are showcased separately at www.blumengarten.com.au.
