Bethamy Linton is a fourth generation West Australian silversmith. The Linton workshop was established in 1908 by James Walter Robert Linton (Beth’s great grandfather), a British trained painter and teacher of art. Since then, through Beth’s grandfather and father, the Linton family has continued its strong relationship with the West Australian cultural sector, championing a rare combination of traditional silversmithing techniques with modern applications. Many pieces by the Linton family, including Linton Silver - a range of cutlery which Beth and her father John continue to produce today - are represented in state and national galleries across Australia, as well as many important private collections internationally.

Beth started her training as a silversmith in the Linton workshop with her father John in the early 1990s, later working as an apprentice jeweller with Kailis Broome Pearls and with silversmith and jeweller David Cruikshank in New South Wales.
