‘Best of Brum’ Exhibition @ The RBSA Gallery, Birmingham was a great success and many of my jewellery/silversmithing friends and collegues also exhibited including: ALICE GOW, ANNA LORENZ, CLAIRE PARDOE, ESTHER LORD, JO POND, KATHERINE CAMPBELL LEGG, KATHLEEN BAIRD, KERRY O’CONNOR, LOUISE CHESSHIRE
MELANIE TOMLINSON, MICHELE WHITE, MIRANDA SHARPE, RAJESH GOGNA, RITA PATEL, SHONA MARSH

This piece was my star attraction:

It’s a 4 layer bloom necklace, the petals are silver that has been oxidised/blackened and each layer has an 18ct Yellow Gold petal.

I picked my work up this week and the new exhibition was full of delicious cupcakes! (knitted, cast and ceramic however!) The new exhibition is called:

“The Art of Dining”
“Explore the relationship between food and object. Including jewellery, ceramics and textiles, this exhibition will investigate the social importance of food and dining.  It includes direct representations of food and tableware that is purely decorative. ‘The Art of Dining’ will be a sumptuous exhibition and an intriguing insight into the varied techniques and skills utilised by makers in their creative practices.
