Craft Week 2015 London - Made in Clerkenwell

MADE. in Clerkenwell is Craft Central's Open Studio event as part of London's first ever Craft Week. It opens its doors to you a week today.


I'm delighted to be able to invite you to this show. I will be showing a selection of my silver pieces, including the enamelled bowls (pictured on flyer) and some new drinking beakers that I have been working on this month inspired by the lumps and bumps, folds, curves and creases that shape our bodies. Prints of the life drawings that have helped me to develop this work will also be for sale.


If you are in town for COLLECT please do take the opportunity to come along to Clerkenwell to see me & another 100+ diverse makers. It's a perfect opportunity to find new and original work, 'meet the makers' and select work for your shows.

I look forward to showing and discussing my work with you.


Please do let me know if you are able to attend and I shall send you a complimentary ticket. (Your postal address is required)

Goldsmiths' Fair 2014

Elizabeth Peers Beaker, Britannia SilverI am once again thrilled to be able to invite you to Goldsmiths' Fair, renowned as the most important, prestigious event of its kind in Europe. I will be exhibiting and selling my work during Week 2 of the Fair - 30th September - 5th October.

I will be exhibiting new pieces, which I have been developing since the beginning of this year following a trip to the beautiful and rugged Shetland, where I spent my Queen Elizabeth Scholarship with Rod Kelly, a Master in the technique of Chasing. Following this I have also drawn inspiration from my time exploring parts of India, taking in the warmth and colours of its landscape and people.

This year The Goldsmiths’ Fair has made some exciting new changes, including a new website where you can pre-book your tickets and browse the blog of artist stories.
There will also be a programme of Breakfast Talks and 'In Conversation' Talks, a selection of works chosen and by internationally renowned architect Zaha Hadid, a new late night Thursday opening and 2 for 1 ticket offers for those with a local London 'EC' postcode.

'Forget mass production, Goldsmiths' Fair is all about the bespoke, the original and the one-off'.


Public Opening:
Week Two - Tuesday 30th September - Sunday 5th October
(NB. Closed Monday 29th Sept)

Opening times - 11am - 6.30pm
Thursday OPEN LATE until 8.30pm

Commission

New College, Oxford.

Beaker 

Earlier this year I was approached by The Dean of New College to design and make 1 of 16 new beakers to be commissioned for one of their dining halls.  Each of these beakers are to be made by different silversmiths at the beginning of their careers.  I was extremely touched when they selected me to propose ideas and designs for one them and that they had been inspired and excited by my work.  The brief has been left very open, which has given me great freedom to develop my ideas and make something that I feel is also stretching me technically.  I am making them a unique piece that is a development of my technique and my research into skin; it's folds and its imperfections, which have become my signature style.  These, as well as studies into folds in cloth, were also used for the commission of the Rosewater Dish for The Worshipful Company of Weavers, which I shall be exhibiting with my other work at The Goldsmiths' Fair later this month (24th-30th September)

Summer & Winter Design Collections

The Summer Design Collection show was from 16th June, throughtout July.  Lynn Park, director of the gallery, had specifically requested these signature beakers of mine for the show.  They are part of my body and skin collection and hint at the skin's folds and fat buldges.  The two beakers have a subtle, directional, hand-hammered texture across their surface.  This explores the changing quality of our body's skin.  I was delighed to have been asked to take part and to exhibit at such a renowned gallery.  I have recently heard these two beakers received a very warm response from many visitors. Thank you.  Lynn has asked me back to exhibit new work this coming November, through December in their Christmas Show - WINTER DESIGN COLLECTION 2012.   More news to come on this, so I will keep you posted - watch this space.

The two beakers depicted above are still on show at Roger Billcliffe Gallery, 134 Blythswood Street, Glasgow, G2 4EL
