This is an opportunity to buy items of furniture, glass, ceramics and silver and focuses on the often chaotic processes involved in turning raw materials into beautiful, hand-made objects. The results occupy a calm and serene space, a world apart from their initial conception.

I'm delighted to say that I currently have my work on display at Christie's, London.  It is being shown as part of 'Contemporary Silver: A selling Exhibition'.  The show is  advertised as 'Showcasing work by Britain's leading silversmiths' .  It is a collection of pieces from over 60 members of the Contemporary British Silversmiths, to which I am honoured to say I have recently been awarded full-membership.  Each silversmith has a number of pieces on display including a new piece specifically designed for this exhibition at Christie's.  The online sale offers 186 lots with a focus on traditional and cutting-edge tableware.   The catalogue can be viewed here  - Christie's online catalogue and the exhibition can be viewed in person at Christie's until 5th September, where the Downing Street Silver Collection is also on display.

The sale is open from 6th August ­ until 5th September 2013
