About This Artwork

Karen Faulkner-Dunkley's designs are strongly influenced by nature and natural forms. From the beginning to the end of production the jewellery she creates is handcrafted as an individual piece. She does not mass-produce jewellery and so there are limited numbers of each jewellery range, with no two items of jewellery being completely identical

About This Artwork

Jack Trowbridge uses an involved and time consuming process of shaping and hammering to create the texture and form in this striking bangle. Using silver and 9ct and 18ct gold, Jack mixes precious metals for dramatic effect and creates forms which reflect his experience as a sculptor and letter-carver. As a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, Jack’s accomplished jewellery work is just one way in which he conveys his creativity. He also makes lettering in stone, slate, wood, copper and bronze for memorials and foundation stones, and prestigious commissions include memorial tablets at St Paul’s Cathedral in London.

About This Artwork

Keith Cumming's work results from over four decades of involvement with glass, based on increasingly personal kiln forming. The results are subjected to a variety of cold finishing techniques, and combined with cast and fabricated metals. The resulting objects are intended to be decorative in effect and sculptural in character. Keith Cummings is a Professor of Glass at the University of Wolverhampton. Taught by Pop artist Richard Hamilton during the 1950s, Cummings has contributed to the international reputation of the University of Wolverhampton Glass Department over the last forty years. This and his work are the focus of the Glass Routes exhibition on show at Bilston Craft Gallery until 15 November. [photo by Simon Bruntnell]

About This Artwork

Grant McCaig is one of Scotland’s leading silversmiths. Based in a small fishing village, he is inspired by nature and its effects on the man-made. His work reflects in particular man’s relationship with the sea in the shapes he creates, the finishes he achieves and the materials he selects. The pristine silver body of Boat Jug, its smooth finish achieved with pumice, contrasts intriguingly with the patina of its reclaimed wooden handle; a tactile object that invites handling is the result.

About This Artwork

Chris Buck is the son of a toolmaker. He studied at Redruth School of Art and then, going back to his industrial roots, he worked in several foundries which gave him a thorough knowledge of casting techniques and general metal and woodwork. He has been inspired by the St Ives abstract artists, predominantly Dame Barbara Hepworth and Dennis Mitchell, and has joined the Penwith Society of Arts himself. Producing sculpture in both wood and stone, it is with bronze that he finds greatest satisfaction, combining natural forms and industrial precision to achieve individual pieces.

About This Artwork

Tolly’s innovative works combine a variety of modern and traditional media and techniques - glass and weave, sculpture, fine art and design- challenging established boundaries between disciplines. Her work encompasses the qualities in glass she appreciates the most – its diverse nature, its vulnerability and its solidity. “Using methods such as Pâte-de-Verre I aim to extract and express the beauty of glass in its very fragile state, forming a ‘crust’ or an exoskeleton of what could be there - an artwork that has shed its skin and is left bare, exposed, raw and beautiful”

About This Artwork

Working with burnished earthenware, Duncan Ross has developed a range of individual forms with which he aims to achieve a sense of balance, with surface patterns that repeat and move in curves and sweeping lines. These textures are built up using inlaid and resisted layers of sigillata. The work is fired several times and strongly smoked to create a range of colours from oranges to greens and blacks.

About This Artwork

Jewellery which explores the vibrant colours and movement of marine life. Part of our ‘Ocean Treasures’ exhibition which runs from 16th Sept – 1st Nov 2008. “By bringing together different materials I hope to develop an aesthetic which does not merely emulate nature, but instead aims to mutate the artificial into the natural. The juxtaposition of the human figure and the natural environment is at the centre of my artistic vision.”
