bio
Between 1993 -1999 Tessa Blazey completed Bachelors of Fine Art (Sculpture) and Interior Design (Hons) at RMIT University, and in 2008 completed an Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology (Jewellery) at Melbourne Polytechnic. Tessa won awards in 1999 and 2008 from both institutions, and has lectured in Interior Design at RMIT since 2002. Tessa has exhibited her work nationally and internationally and is the recipient of two arts grants from the Australia Council for the Arts; Tessa has work in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Australia.
I experiment with sculptural forms through the use of unusual gemstones and curious settings. My rings are inspired by the personas of my favourite film heroes and villains. Many of my pieces appear simultaneously modern and ancient. To view my custom jewellery and latest works please click on the link to instagram at the bottom of this page.
