After initially studying building engineering, Tom Scott gained a place at Hornsey College of Art, with the intention of becoming an illustrator, but quickly switched to silversmithing and jewellery design, graduating in 1968. He set up his own workshop and promptly won the Goldsmiths Company’s Craftsman of the Year competition for silver design.
Scott’s designs are often quite three dimensional, using contrasting surfaces to add depth. He has also worked with
Andrew Grima, bringing Grima’s distinctive designs to life.
