Rauni Higson is one of Britain’s leading silversmiths. Originally trained in Finland, her studio is located in the dramatic landscape of Snowdonia, a rich backdrop of mountainous crags and rugged coastline that inform her work.

All her pieces are made by hand and by hammer, using her contemporary interpretation of traditional skills. Rauni is proud to have been tutored by a number Master Craftsmen such as Michael Lloyd, Rod Kelly, Christopher Lawrence and Cynthia Eid and believes the passing on skills and techniques to future silversmiths is fundamental to the future of the industry.

Rauni has personally mentored a number of up and coming silversmiths and pioneered the Contemporary British Silversmiths Skills Training Programme which launched in 2016.
