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

Internatioanl Zilverkunst

Zilverdag (Silver day) has traditionally taken place on Whit Monday (Pentecost Monday) every year in Schoonhoven.  The town is filled with silversmiths and jewellers, market stands, tools, silversmithing demonstrations and activities.  It is a huge celebration of the history of the town and the current activities and trade that still exhist there today with thousands of visitors coming from all over Europe.

This year the local silversmiths have planned something even more special.  They have invited 6 international silversmiths, myself included, to exhibit in the Silver City's Town Hall for the weekend before the main event on Monday.

I am extremely excited to have been asked to go back as a guest to participate this year.  Schoonhoven is a very special place for me, having spent a year there (2009-2010) as an Artist in Residence on Programme of Excellence with the local silversmiths.  I have decided to take the work of Deborah Werbner with me (and her!).  I have admired her work and the philosophy behind it ever since meeting her, just over a year ago.  I feel her connection to her work and the stories she wishes to express sit very comfortably alongside mine.
 
Deborah makes emotionally sustainable artefacts. She believes that objects connected to memory stories will become objects that we cherish, retain and bequeath.

Our work will be on display from Saturday 26th May until Monday 28th May 2012.
