She has worked with museums in London, Birmingham and Cambridge to create replicas of the Cheapside Hoard, art-nouveau jewels and Baskerville punches respectively. Working within heritage teams, Carey’s craftsmanship brings valuable insight to the interpretation of precious metal artifacts. Carey combines the traditional craftsmanship skills of goldsmithing with advances in laser technology, CAD and sintering to present new perspectives of understanding and novel approaches to the development of the craft. This approach has developed pioneering methodologies in how objects are created and understood. The duality of hand skills and advanced technology is a common thread throughout her research.
