Marisa Arna became known for her fine thrown porcelain soon after she moved her studio from her native Greece in 1997. Her porcelain was sold at places such as the Conran Shop in the UK and overseas, the V&A shop, galleries, and at Chelsea Craft Fair and Origin.   Since 2007 she has been working exclusively as a jeweller. All of Marisa’s jewellery is heavily textured either by scratching deeply the surface of the jewellery. At other times she rolls the silver with materials, such as fabric, to give it a permanently patterned surface, and then distresses it further. To show off the variety of textures Marisa polishes the edges and the all-important details in a design, and then often highlights it further by the use of textured 18ct gold, oxidation or the addition of gemstones.   Marisa likes to combine several simple geometrical patterns, which sometimes make up organic forms. These striking shapes, together with interesting textures, create tactile mini-sculptures which look just as interesting on their own as they do when they are being worn. Marisa’s work is all hand made. It includes a large number of one-off pieces and several ranges which, when combined, make unique collections.
