What’s in store in May!

remonjephcott appleIt has been a while, but we have a new web-site. Perfect time for an update on what is currently in the gallery.

We have had several new deliveries of jewellery, wirework by Kate Packer, for example, and also a delivery of Remon Jephcott’s lovely (and humorous) ceramics and ceramic jewellery. New are these decaying fruit. We have apples, a pear and a cherry. The fly on the apple is made from real silver.

Wire-work jewellery inspired by nature

  KatePacker was one of three graduates showing her work with us last year. She has since gone on to do another top up year at Plymouth Art College and will graduate this summer. We always love having her quirky wire-work jewellery, particularly these bugs brooches in cheerful colours!

Kate’s Work is a mass of animals, insects, pods and vegetables etc, wall-mounted, suspended, free-standing and wearable. Nature is the foundation and persistent inspiration for her work, interpreted through the interlacing of the thread-like wire that she twists and weaves to shape to form her designs. Delicate yet strong, Kate’s sculptural wire-work is made from thin colour-coated copper wire, and black florist wire.

 

She also makes these wonderful wire-drawings. To view some of Kate’s work in more detail, please see our online shop.

Noah Taylor – Imagination in Metal

Noah Taylor’s work spans a wide variety of purposes. Decorative as well as functional his artefacts range from the easy harmony of his candleholders and patinated copper products to these quirky and humorous chimerical silver plated containers.

Noah designs and makes furniture, sculpture, artefacts and architectural pieces inspired by a wide variety of influences and interests incorporating the Arts and Crafts movement, Art Noveau, Art Deco, myths and legends, all delivered through his own unique sensibility. The range of materials he uses includes most metals, wood, glass and plastics, often incorporating recycled parts and objects. The techniques employed vary from hot forging to casting, laser cutting to electroplating, woodworking to silver soldering.

We have a range of his work on display including also these incense burners and copper boxes as well as the popular flying hearts.
