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

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)
