HIGHLIGHTS from 2010
2010 was a busy year ! Several new pieces evolved and I developed some exciting collaborative projects.....
REFLECTION BOWLS
sold
Water is the obvious theme here, however it is reflections that are a main focus in this work.
The bases are designed so as to reflect in the highly polished surface of the bowls.

The pieces here were originally promoted at British Silver Week 2010.
They were on display during September 2010 at The Cider Press Center, Dartington, Devon.
and were also exhibited at The Goldsmiths Fair 5-10 October 2010
The Ripple dish gained a COMMENDED Award in the Goldsmiths Craftmanship and Design Awards 2011
EQUILIBRIUM DESIGN
IN 2010 I started working with Furniture Designer / Silversmith TOM SUTTON
We have been colaborating on bespoke works for each others design ranges, creating pieces with new dynamics.
Working under the name Equilibrium, Tom and myself launched our premier collection at Liverpool Design Show 2010.
We will be developing new collections into 2011, please view more information and images by clicking on the link below.

COLOUR CONNECTIONS view more images

Fired by the imagination of the curator, at the new Cider Press Gallery in Devon, in 2010 I collaborating again with textile artist MARY BRODIE.
Our new piece was twice the size of our first colour concept piece and measures 80cm wide and 100cm high.
The vibrancy and impact of this work is a real feast for the eyes ! The exhibition showed during September 2010
and also profiled the work of ULLA HUTTUNEN & ARTO SLAMIEN - enamel & wood designers from Finland.
And still on the drawing board.......
When I can, I like to get to the print room workshops at The Bluecoat in Liverpool.
Since a workshop with Anne Desmet I'm experimenting with wood engraving applied to decal paper.
It's probably a project that will run well into 2011 as at the moment there are not enough hours in a day !
.....but I hope to make range of editioned jewellery at some point soon !
