I was devastated! Two months of hard work gone – literally. It’s two days before my relaunch exhibition ‘Transforming Treasures’, and I get a call from the Gallery saying they hadn’t received my work. …and that the tracking code I sent them came up blank. Various calls & speed peddling-cycling-trips to the post office later and […]
*formerly referred to under the working tittle TransForming Treasures. I’m trying out different tittles as the project evolves to see which one resonates best with me – as of now I think Silverware: Remade describes the core of my project in a simpler more transparent fashion. And I’m all for keeping it simple & transparent. […]
In our fast moving world where it’s become a symbol a status, strength and admiration to be a fast, efficient and multitasking monster. We cram more and more into our lives – at the expense of appreciating the most important, yet common things. Such as enjoying a meal. When was the last time you really […]
On Friday May 11th Collect, the International Art Fair for Contemporary Objects, opens to the public. It’s the most prestigious fair for contemporary craft in the UK, and dare I say Europe.

I love this time of year, not only because of the high blue sky and supposedly warm indian summer, but because this is the time of year when all jewellers and silversmiths are working like busy bees to get ready for all the craft fairs. As I’m not doing any craft fairs myself this year […]
Celebrating silver for a whole month – that sounds like something out of dream to me. But it’s exactly what they are doing at The Scottish Gallery in Edinburgh for July 2011. Some of Britain’s finest silversmiths and enamelers will exhibit work at the gallery for British Silver Month. And you can get a chance […]
Tomorrow the exhibition I’m participating in with the Copenhagen Goldsmiths’ Guild in Mons, Belgium opens. It’s called ‘All that glitters,…’! I really love that tittle, and I’ll tell you why further down. All the participants are exhibiting quite a large number of work, so it should be a fantastic exhibition, and a really excellent opportunity to […]
