I hope you are adjusting to the change in season and enjoying the autumnal light. I will be in London next Thursday for the Private View of this fantastic showcase I am part of over November. Come along if you can!

Forge is a space in the London Jewellery Quarter that provides gallery and workshop space, supporting the industry to thrive and grow. I'm thrilled to be showing alongside some fantastic goldsmiths' and hope that some of you can come to say hello while I am there. If not then do visit another day, the show is open until 23rd November.

From Forge about this intriguing showcase...

‘The Paper Magician‘

Join MasterMakers Paul Wells and Anastasia Young for this showcase exploring transformation through form, fold, and structure. Guided by a story where craft becomes creation, this theme invites sculptural pieces, vessels, and jewellery that investigate form and materiality. Where metal, or any material, is transformed by hand into three-dimensional forms.

A short excerpt from the book that inspired this showcase:

“ “Everything is made of Folds,” he explained, folding a sheet of paper in half, then again.“The trick is getting the Folds right. Everything must be aligned just so, or the spells won’t work — just as you can’t enchant a mirror if it doesn’t reflect a perfect image.” Ceony watched his hands move the paper this way and that. It bent under his touch like water.”

— The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg
