Attai Chen utilizes wood, paper, silver, graphite, paint and stainless steel in his jewelry and sculptural reliefs. He describes his work as “a body consisting of independent, self-contained, multidimensional entities in a process of bonding.” You don’t see the…

There is a lot of sellotape in this post.
This week saw Birmingham host Spring Fair, the largest jewellery and giftware fair in the UK. Quite aside from being the largest collection of utter tat I have ever witnessed in one place, the jewellery and watch section of the fair is always interesting and over the years, I've made a few visits here. This time around, we decided to take our entire cohort…

Lots of talk and not much jewellery for me this week!
At the School of Jewellery, we have an extensive programme of Artists-in-Residence (AiR) who work with the students on each course while extending their own practice. Every single year of each course has an AiR allocated to them - which is a luxury, indeed. This week saw us being introduced to them properly as they each gave us a bit of a talk about their hopes and direction for the year.…

We've all had this experience with furniture: You either have too much of it as soon as you are moving to a new place, or too little of it when you're having guests over. When you are moving, furniture is a hassle because it is bulky, heavy, and a total pain to schlep up three sets of stairs. On the other hand, furniture is much…
