Interdisciplinary. Community. Advocacy. Humor.
An online exhibition of Silversmiths who currently reside and practice in the UK. The goal is to show the best current contemporary silversmith work from the UK. This exhibition aims to explore if there is a specific British silversmith style that is different from silversmithing styles in other countries.
The works submitted have been made from 2011 onwards.

These are truly fantastic. Its wonderful to see such talented artists keeping alive this form of art. Kathryn Hinton's Digital Hammer project is brilliant!
An amazing selection of work. I love David Clarke's Influx Collection, Theresa Nguyen's and Diana Greenwood's work. Brilliant!
Took my breath away! Adi Toch's Little Beak Oil Drizzler makes my heart ache in a delicious way. And i could stare at David Clarke's Influx Collection for hours. Beautiful group of work here.
Hi Jeanie thank you and please do look at the pinterest board where you'll find many more examples of great work
regards Mark
