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 />
