I'm working on a collection of pieces for an upcoming exhibition at the
RBSA Gallery, Birmingham -
Coast. This is also complementing my Manchester Craft & Design Centre project, as I have been looking at more ironwork and architectural features, moving on to piers, jetties and Victorian seafronts.

The resin fishing net design above came about after a weekend in Hastings back in January 2009 when I was there on an enameling course. Last week I had a look through some old images of samples I made from then (part of my final college project), which I thought might sit nicely with research I was doing for Coast.
I knitted and crocheted silver and copper wire to enamel - domes and decorative shapes inspired by old ironwork. Below is an assortment of photographs showing a few of these samples, (some of these were later made into stones and incorporated into jewellery).

On the Sunday morning in Hastings, I had a few hours free time and took myself down to the seafront to take pictures of coastal features which I could initially interpret using wire to use for enameling. I now plan to revisit this work and develop it further.

For
Coast I'm using mainly my Fishing Net design (as above), and Isar and Tree designs (below). The exhibition at the RBSA Gallery runs from 21st June until 31st August 2012.
