Black Dog Collective

I'm delighted to announce that earlier this week I was approached by Black Dog Studio to join their collective.  My first show with them is fast approaching, so whilst I'm is busy hammering away in the workshop I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to celebrate with me and meet the other makers at the private view of our first show together entitled Material Redefined.


Black Dog Studio is a collaboration of like minded artists working in furniture, glass, ceramics and silver.
Driven by a passion for taking raw materials and creating unique objects, we share a common philosophy that the
work produced is by the hand of the maker and is individual in approach and design, far away from the world of mass production.
We believe that nothing exists in isolation and having a multi-disciplinary approach allows us to consider how objects co-exist
and how it is possible to enrich our lives functionally and aesthetically.
WHEN 
Public Viewing - Tuesday 27th August - 1st September 2013 10.30 - 6pm
Private View Evening - Thursday 29th August from 6.30 - 8.30 pm

New Work

New work including my new enamelled pinch pots.


These enamelled pinch bowls are the start of more to come.  I was helped by Penny Davis to achieve these and to start to learn the process of enamelling.  I really enjoyed working with Penny and I hope that we can work together again.  She did a stunning job for me.  One piece was sold at Goldsmiths' Fair 2012 and another at PAN Fair Amsterdam 2012.
I am now working on some more and perhaps I will be brave enough this time to tackle the enamelling myself...but to go wrong with that amount of silver takes a little guts!

More work can be found in the 'Vision' pages of my website and on FACEBOOK
