Happy New Year everyone!
Little update on the blog. This Christmas I showcased my work at two exhibitions. The first being with Handmade in Britain at Somerset House, during the Christmas Arcade. This was not only a jewellery exhibition but focused on crafts, including textiles, prints and ceramics. There was some stunning work on display, I especially loved the work of Enclosed Spaces who make modern graphic prints.
I also exhibited once again at the Barbican with the Designer Jewellers Group for the Winter Showcase. There was some great jewellery on display, not only from exisiting group members but the New Designer guest exhibitors. They were hand selected from the New Designers graduate show in the summer, just as I had been the year before.
Scottish designer Kelly Munro's work is influenced by the fishing industry heritage where she grew up. She combines manipulated burnt wood with rubber and hand pierced structures.
Bola Lyon combines porcelain and silver. Her collection is inspired by hidden structures within the anatomy.
Ciara Bowles' work explores colour, pattern, scale & material. Her hand pierced and powder coated structures are striking.
