Designer Siobhán Sacker shows her mettle

I love working with metal, such as copper which has been used to create homeware for more than 10,000 years...My aim is to bring together centuries of décor trends and create pieces that people will love and that will not go out of style - Siobhán Sacker, metalsmith and founder of Gilded Hound

What’s your background?

I was home-schooled — because of this I was always into teaching myself how to work creatively with my hands. I moved to India for a few years when I was a teenager and there I saw coppersmithing being done with incredible skill. That started a passion in me to learn about it.
