About the Artist

Meet Eldermother, and discover the beauty of the wilderness.

I'm Clare, an artist, jewellery designer, and musician based in Stroud, England. My work is inspired by the majestic beauty of the British countryside, ancient folklore, and the quiet magic of everyday nature.

Jewellery with a Story

Each piece of jewellery I create is handcrafted with care, drawing from the mystical and the natural - delicate ferns and mushrooms set in resin, statement crystal designs brimming with energy, and charms inspired by old-world magic. I also offer custom commissions, working closely with you to craft a piece that holds personal significance, whether it's a bespoke talisman or a variation of an existing design.

Photography & Music

My photography explores the darker, more mysterious side of nature - abandoned cemeteries, forgotten places, and shadowed landscapes where time stands still. Each image captures a sense of the eerie and the ethereal, revealing beauty in decay and the unseen world.

Music is another vital part of my creative expression. I play the harp, an instrument often associated with delicate, dreamlike sounds - but in my hands, it takes on a more haunting edge. I also perform in Edenfall, a gothic metal band where melancholy and melody intertwine, much like the themes that inspire my other work.

A Slow, Intentional Approach

Sustainability and craftsmanship are at the heart of Eldermother. I work with natural and ethically sourced materials where I can, embracing a slow, intentional process to create meaningful, lasting pieces. Each item is made with respect for the materials and the traditions that inspire them.

Bringing a Little Magic to You

I believe in the power of handmade objects to connect us to something deeper - whether it's a jewellery piece infused with meaning, an image that evokes a forgotten dream, or a song that lingers in the mind like an old folk tale. Through Eldermother, I hope to share a little of that magic with you.
