Precious metal gives<br />
Studio form to Embellish<br />
The theme for Silver Plus<br />
Studio’s <strong>2018</strong> exhibition<br />
and sale of new work – Embellish<br />
– provided the members<br />
scope to explore a rich array<br />
of texture, materials and form<br />
in precious metal.<br />
Embellishment has a double<br />
meaning. Throughout history<br />
jewellery has been used to<br />
embellish<br />
the wearer,<br />
beautifying<br />
their physical<br />
appearance<br />
or enhancing<br />
their social<br />
standing.<br />
The objects<br />
themselves are<br />
also embellished. Pieces can<br />
be two or three-dimensional,<br />
can involve colour or texture,<br />
or be inspired by the study of<br />
natural forms.<br />
Every piece in the exhibition<br />
is made by hand, fusing<br />
the skill and creativity of<br />
its maker. Brenda Coleman<br />
incorporates urchin shell cast<br />
in sterling silver with gold leaf<br />
and semi-precious stones.<br />
Margaret Illy creates delicate<br />
pieces inspired by nature; and<br />
Susan Peacock has wrapped<br />
silver around pebbles and<br />
pearls in pieces inspired by<br />
tidal pools. Christine Sadler<br />
has cast hand-crocheted discs<br />
in sterling silver, while Heidi<br />
Francis marries metals such as<br />
copper, nickel<br />
and sterling<br />
silver in striking<br />
geometric<br />
designs.<br />
All of this<br />
work and<br />
more is presented<br />
over<br />
one weekend<br />
(15/16 <strong>September</strong>) at the<br />
stunning setting which Silver<br />
Plus Studio enjoys at Ingleside<br />
(Granma’s Refuge, 4 Tumburra<br />
St). Exhibition is open 10am-<br />
4pm both days, launch at<br />
11am on Saturday with morning<br />
tea provided.<br />
