----

Ingeborg Bratman was born in Vienna in 1935, her family fleeing Nazi Germany in 1938 to the safety of England. Her father established a successful textile business in Yorkshire, which influenced Ingeborg’s initial studies in textiles at Leicester College of Technology.

In 1965 Ingeborg moved from textile design to retrain as a jeweller at Hornsey School of Art, studying under Gerda Flöckinger, and continuing her training at Sir John Cass College. In 1971 Ingeborg set up independently, her jewellery selling in Mosheh Oved’s Bloomsbury shop Cameo Corner and other retail outlets in Leeds, Bradford, Harrogate and London, whilst also undertaking private commissions.



In the 1970s Ingeborg collaborated with the industrial firm Plessey to produce a jewellery collection using the rare metal tantalum, transforming the grey metal into bright colours through anodisation using high voltages.


Examples of Ingeborg Bratman’s work are held in permanent collections at the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Science Museum, London.
