Presented in partnership with The Worshipful Company of Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers - Discover contemporary jewellery and metal embroidery made with hand-drawn wire.
I was delighted and honoured to be made a Freeman of The Gold & Silver Wyre Drawers in October 2019.
The craft of hand-drawing using gold or silver wire has a rich heritage. Contemporary craftspeople continue to learn and evolve this traditional skill, adapting it to the designs of today.
The exhibition, Drawn and Formed, will bring together a wide selection of contemporary craft work providing a unique insight into the processes of drawing and working with wire; and will celebrate the very best UK craftspeople alongside a backdrop of historic work.
Drawn and Formed will be accompanied by an exciting series of events, demos and courses for interested members of the public and industry members.
