Sharon H Justice trained at Portsmouth College of Art gaining qualifications in 3D Design/Jewellery. As a student she won 2nd and 3rd places in the national platinum competition in consecutive years and followed it with a place in the post-graduate section. 

She has recently moved into a new workshop at Making Space in Havant, Hampshire, after taking some time out from making. She is currently teaching part-time at South Downs college, Waterlooville and is a  member of the Association for Contemporary Jewellery.

After taking a break from jewellery Sharon has come back to making and is now working predominantly in silver, with the inclusion of some semi precious and non precious beads and stones. She is currently producing designs incorporating forging, woven wire and applied texture techniques some of these highlighted with oxidization or Keum Bo.    
Sharons influences have always been pattern forms ranging from architectural and natural through to textile, ancient and modern. At the moment she very interested in embroidered and printed patterns of the early 20th century, as well as being constantly drawn to lace of any age or style.
