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

CONTEMPORARY BRITISH SILVERSMITHS

Our exhibition SIDE x SIDE - EDGE > EDGE has moved again.

SIDE x SIDE – EDGE > EDGE is the latest collection of silverware by Contemporary British Silversmiths and the first exciting collaboration with the Finnish Silversmiths Association and students and staff at the Lahti University of Applied Sciences Institute of Design, the exhibition features 75 pieces of new work designed and made in response to the themed title.

Elizabeth Peers - Celebration

The exhibition was launched, alongside the Silver Trust’s stunning 10 Downing Street collection, at Häme Castle in Hämeenlinna in 4 August 2009. Finland’s oldest castle provided a wonderful contrasting space in which to show contemporary silverware. The first UK venue for the exhibition will be the Royal Cornwall Museum, Truro in September 2010.



It is now being displayed at the Capstone Building Hope University, Liverpool.

The Capstone building is a concert venue with impressive public space. Our exhibition is displayed in the upper and lower foyers. Courtney Pine is due to perform there in the next month and will undoubtedly attract a large audience. The first thing visitors will see is the exhibition on arriving and during intermission. Christopher English organised the Goldsmiths’ Company video showing silversmiths at work, which will play throughout the exhibition. There are also some wonderful images of silversmiths at work throughout the display.

The exhibition was opened by Bill Chambers - Pro Vice Chancellor and Alan Whitaker, Head of Fine and Applied Arts at Liverpool Hope University.
