Undercurrent Exhibition in London

It really is a wonderful thing to have friendships with other artists and makers abroad, I love hearing what they are doing and sharing it with you.

My friend Sophie Main is part of the Moving On Collective, contemporary jewellers working together in exhibitions and pieces that go beyond the general idea of adornment and wearable objects.

And psst, you may recall me writing about Moving On Collective back in February and the project they did then.  So inventive!

I apologize this is somewhat late in posting but the show will be up until October 11th.  If you're in London definitely see the show, I wish I could!

Hemyca London

Another gem of a designer discovered at the Origins Passion and Beliefs Fair in Italy last month.  This video is beyond cool, the team behind the Harry Potter movies worked on this video.  That pretty much tells you why it's so wicked, along with the fact that Hemyca is wicked as well.

hope you enjoy!

Moving On collective

Being in a class with people from all over the world and of different experiences really introduces you to ideas and concepts that may not come to you otherwise.

Sophie Main is one of the students in our class that is at Penland on a scholarship from London.  Sophie's work at RCA (Royal College of Art) deals with the history of objects, collecting and cataloguing  historical works and objects.  I've really enjoyed watching her thinking process in the objects and sketches she's done in class.

Sophie is also part of the Moving On collective, a group of artists from RCA that created a wonderful interactive exhibition.  The artists carried/wore their jewelry on ribbons and the piece was placed in a jar to protect the object but then could be taken out to show the viewer.

Once again, I just really enjoy these kinds of projects, creating an event and/or method to introduce art jewelry to the public, making art accessible and less confined.  I hope you enjoy the video!
