I can’t believe I haven’t posted these photos yet!

Back in June, I exhibited my work during a visit from The Silver Society, before continuing as part of the public exhibition at Coburg House Gallery in Edinburgh.

It was really lovely being surrounded by like minded individuals, incredibly talented silversmiths as well as silver enthusiasts!

It was especially meaningful that both Bryony Knox and Michael Lloyd played such an important role at the start of my career. To have learned from two incredibly talented makers, and now be exhibiting my work alongside them and the current Marchmont Silversmithing Workshop cohort, feels super special.

A huge thank you to Bryony Knox -Silversmith for organising such a fantastic event and for including us!

Kelpie Bowl 🌊

One of my recent commissions that I particularly enjoyed creating was the Kelpie Bowl. Inspired by the client’s horse, Kelpie, I wanted to capture a fairytale-like scene — with Kelpie swimming through swirling water, fish darting between flowing currents, and touches of gold weaving through the waves.

I hand-raised the bowl from a flat sheet of silver into its final form before applying the detailed decoration. Using chasing and repoussé, I worked from the inside to gently push Kelpie forward from the surface, giving the figure a subtle sense of movement and depth. The bright gold on the inside really makes this piece come alive, and further acts as shimmering water with the design coming through on the inside.
