With over 40 years in contemporary jewellery and object practice, LYNLEY TRAEGER designs and hand-makes unique pieces. Studies in Gold and Silversmithing at RMIT, Post Graduate Diploma of Arts in Jewellery and Metals, a Master of Arts by research from Monash University, and a studio in the Nicholas Building for over 25 years, have left an indelible mark on her skills and her place in the community of practice in Melbourne.
With work collected and awarded through various exhibitions, her passion led to teaching Jewellery and Object Design at Melbourne Polytechnic, where she has been sharing invaluable skills for 25 years.
