Marisa Arna moved her ceramic studio from her native Greece in 1997. She became known in the UK for her fine thrown porcelain work which was on sale in the UK and overseas in places such as the Conran Shop, the V&A shop, and at fairs like Chelsea Craft Fair and Origin.
 
In 2006 she decided to pursue another passion of hers, jewellery. She launched her first comprehensive collection of sterling silver and 18ct gold handmade jewellery at BCTF 2007. She has been incredibly busy since then, both with supplying galleries such as Aberdeen City Art Gallery shop and Yorkshire Sculpture Park as well as selling from her studio and gallery in a village near Frinton on Sea, on the East Anglian coast. Marisa's jewellery has also appeared in the press with features on her and her work.
 
Her jewellery is mostly sterling silver with accents in polished silver or textured 18ct gold. It ranges from earrings, neckpieces, bangles and rings to cufflinks. It still echoes her love of clean lines and variation in texture which made her known in the world of ceramics.
 
Marisa enjoys working on a variety of collections suitable for a wide range of ages and styles. She has also worked on a lot of commissions and has produced quite a few one-off pieces. She is always working on new designs, and if you visit the studio you have the chance to discuss any commissions, or just choose something from the work on display at the gallery
