Gallery 2
Newfoundland
29 April – 16 July 2017
Romilly Saumarez Smith & Verdi Yahooda.
An exhibition of works by jeweller Romilly Saumarez Smith and artist Verdi Yahooda. Each of the pieces have at their core Roman, Anglo-Saxon or Medieval metalwork, dropped or discarded hundreds of years ago. These scraps of ancient lives have been transformed by Romilly into wearable art – contemporary jewellery; while renowned artist Verdi, a long standing friend and artistic collaborator of Romilly, has made some exceptional photographic prints of the original metal finds.

Are You Looking For a Bridge Between University and a Professional Life as A Silversmith or Jeweller?
Bishopsland is now interviewing for the September 2017 intake.
Bishopsland is an internationally recognised, post graduate residential course which provides equal concentration on silversmithing skills and the professional skills needed to be able to work successfully as a self-employed maker. This integrated approach makes the course unique.
Bishopsland is committed to craftsmanship, innovation and helping makers to be sustainable, we offer a 46 week sustained intensive training course in design, technical and business skills.
Bishopsland is about the pursuit of excellence in contemporary silver. Our achievements are those of our Fellows, several of whom have award winning and international careers. Key emerging names in contemporary silver include Ndidi Ekubia MA (RCA), Theresa Nguyen, Miriam Hanid, Bryony Knox and Lin Cheung MA (RCA).
The cost of a one year residential course at Bishopsland should not be prohibitive to any talented emerging silversmith or jeweller. There are bursaries available to help support members of the course.
If you would like to be considered for an interview please send your c.v. to Glyn McIntosh at g.mcintosh@bishopsland.org.uk To find out more about Bishopsland our website is www.bishopsland.org.uk
Kind regards
Glyn

We are pleased to share with you an interview with Cristina Filipe, the winner of the inaugural 2017 Susan Beech Mid-Career Artist Grant. Find out her plans for the future as she completes her research and prepares both a book and an exhibition about Portuguese art jewelry.
