Jess Blak is an Australian contemporary metalsmith with an appreciation for traditional craftsmanship and ethical practices. Her organic approach to creating balances repetition and authenticity whilst collections are inspired by the juxtaposition of nature and the built environment. The treatment of the designs,  created using the lost wax casting technique, suggests time has manipulated the surface leaving it organic and completely unpredictable. Jess has been working from her flagship store in Brisbane's Fortitude valley for 3 years, handcrafting timeless pieces for her growing clientbase.
