Artist Profile: Buster Collins
Jeweller

Jeweller
Each Buster Collins jewellery piece is handmade by Annie Collins in her Christchurch studio, which is also a teaching space and home to Workspace Studios and The Makers. Annie’s work is structural and graphic in form.
She is also the creative director at Mason and Collins Jewellery, and The Wild Jewellery with Vaune Mason

“I’ve been making jewellery for 20 years and teaching for 16 but students continue to surprise and challenge me! I think the best things about teaching are creative problem solving and meeting people from all walks of life who discover their own joy in creating. Our Christchurch workshop is lovely to work from and we’re offering new classes all the time. When I’m not teaching and running Workspace, I am making and selling in galleries around New Zealand under my labels Buster Collins and The Wild (with Vaune Mason), as well as being a Creative Director of our gallery, Mason & Collins and a mum of three.”
