Angela Billingham has
been working in metal since her days at college around
1970, where she started forming and gas – welding steel
bars. She taught Art, Pottery and Design Technology in
Birmingham schools for 39 years before retiring in 2010.
She became very passionate about
working with reclaimed materials and loved igniting
children’s imagination with plastic bottles, cornflake
packetsand drinks cans. She has too many project ideas
to venture far from the metal she loves at present but
hopes in future to return to modelling and casting with
clay and cement. Her most recent work is creating forged
copper jewellery and making a sculpture from the metal
in biscuit tins. Photographs of her work can befound in
the gallery section on her website :-

where recent jewellery made from gemstones, metal and
found materials.The code for this is:-

Angela is happy to deliver
workshops for private and community groups by prior
arrangement. She has lots of experience with both adults
and children and details can be found in her Dropbox and
website.
