Artist's StatementTeresa Crickmar works out of a beautifully kitted-out workshop & studio in Lode, Cambridgeshire where she has a spiritual take on a trio of things. Teresa teaches women making-skills, she designs and creates intricate and meaningful jewellery for her brand Dea & Me, and channels the goddess for Reiki in the garden room.

Healing, making and teaching are fused together in harmony each informing and inspiring the other. Teresa believes that there is more to the world than what you can see and feel around you -indeed Reiki Earth energy found Teresa when she was at her most sceptical. Now, everything she works on tries to reflect the idea that human and nature are connected in one big, beautiful web of life.

Teresa trusts the importance of community and of sharing her knowledge, passing on skills needed to appreciate and create artful and beautiful pieces. As a teacher, Teresa likes to make people feel better: not everyone finds healing through conventional means and a sense of sisterhood, like-mindedness and creativity is a perfect for healing connection. And the bright and airy studio is the perfect space for both play and discovery.

If you buy a piece of Dea & Me you join her in solidarity to embrace the divine feminine, to embrace beauty and to find joy. Its purpose is step towards the Universe with open arms. Teresa works with molten metal and forms of nature so there’s a collaboration between the elements, the medium and the artist; this alchemy is how woman meets method and material. The collections include Vita, Vi and Viriditas. From affordable to wearable art pieces, each and every design is ethical, imbued with intention and crafted to the highest standards using precious metals and gemstones.

Her professional experience includes 25 years as a jeweller, 20 years as a qualified teacher and 8 years as a Reiki Master. She’s co-founded the award-winning social enterprise, GAP Learning and also spent a year as the Artist in Residence in Newton Stewart, Scotland.
