30th Anniversary at Manchester Craft & Design Centre

Celebrations for Manchester Craft & Design Centre's 30th Anniversary kick off on Saturday 28th April - all details about this are HERE.  I have just finished my contribution for the jewellery showcase of rings 'Past, Present & Future Makers Celebrate 30 Years at Manchester Craft & Design Centre', which is launching the same day.

Inspiration for this piece has come from the building within which Manchester Craft & Design Centre resides, seeking to depict its industrial past and creative present.

From drawings made of this former fish market, I have hand pierced in silver a detail from the original 1870's ironwork roof and struts using traditional, metalsmith techniques, and layered this with digital imagery of fishing nets which have been encapsulated in resin using contemporary, laser technology.
