Bowls

I'm a little behind in my making at the moment as I had a few issues when raising the silver, I have only ever made one tiny silver bowl so I'm learning how far I can push the silver when raising. So a few holes and splits and a little frustration later I have 2 almost finished bowls. 

Quick trip to London!

I caught the night train up to London last night so I could visit the Festival of Silver exhibition at the Goldsmiths' Centre. There are some amazing silversmiths' work being exhibited. It's good to see the work up close instead of images on the internet. I know I have a long way to go before I'm as good as these guys!  

Here's some of the work of Rebecca Joselyn. She is interest in unwanted throwaway packaging and its negative impact on our environment and has developed a range of tableware for the home. 

I love her little spoons, they are so perfectly made.
