Award winning Irish born jeweller/designer Natasha Heaslip began her career with an MA at London Guildhall University in 1998, and then began working from the Candid Arts Studios in Islington. She originally trained as a sculptor, bringing an interesting edge to her collections.  
She has exhibited throughout the UK, Ireland, Europe and the Middle East and her work can be seen in film; she made several pieces that were used in the film ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’.
Heaslip has won various awards including the ‘Silver prize for production design’ from the Craftsmanship and Design Awards ’06, and was selected as one of ‘Eight of the Best’ for the Platinum Design Innovation Award ’03. She has also exhibited at the prestigious Goldsmiths’ Fair for the past six years - one of the few chosen to show across both weeks of the fair.
