DECOUVERTE : Lisa Catterson – from mushroom to jewel through paper

Lisa Catterson : « I am constantly attracted to repetition and layers within nature. My work focuses on the delicate layers of gills I find within mushrooms.
Growing my own mushrooms allowed me to document the different stages of the growth through photography and detailed linear drawings.
I use the soft delicate nature of handmade paper to convey the subtle beauty I find through my research. The lightweight quality of the paper allows me to build up many layers within my work, portraying the changing contours of the gills.
I have used a reduced colour palette to focus attention on the repeated layer forms. » (Glasgow School of Art Silversmithing and Jewellery BA (Hons), graduate portfolio)

Jasmin GILES : c’est la WAX …..

Jasmin Giles (UK) textile & wax jewelry

découverte au BIAD Birmingham Graduate show 2011, re-découverte récemment sur une vidéo, ses créations « giant & bold » m’enchantent toujours !

« I make large-scale jewellery pieces, combining knitted textiles and materials such as wax and glass. The pieces represent contemporary jewellery alternatives. »

« Jasmin graduated from Chelsea College of Art last year (2010) with a first class honours degree in Textiles… Her entire degree show sold out and she is now a recipient of the Crafts Council Hothouse programme as well as working freelance from her studio in Clapham.
Jasmin told me that each piece is unique and is a labour of love- she sees her work as wearable art. Not only does she create each put together the piece, but she also creates the constituent parts. She starts off by dying the woven threads that make up the foundation of her Spring/Summer collection (top) and works hot wax into delicate (and remarkably regular) droplets.
Her work is rich, dramatic, heavy. It is bold and intelligent. I imagine it being worn as a patterned statement against a pallete of greys and blacks. I wonder who would wear it- and where? Well I would. I would wear it somewhere spectacular, where it could be seen, admired and whispered about. She talks of being interested in how the wearer is transformed by jewellery- for the AW collection, the sea is an image that I can’t rid myself of when I look at her work- I see heavy seaweed, kelp, dark nights and deep depths- perhaps that is the thing about her work; it transforms the imagination of the wearer and the viewer. » (PatternLondon, sept.2011)

at « New Designers », business design centre – (London, United Kingdom)

Welcome to the 2012 Degree Show – This year’s event marks the end of the first academic year following the College’s merger with the University of Edinburgh.

Jewellery and Silversmithing are broad terms in contemporary craft encompassing materials and techniques beyond the traditional ones associated with these trades. Skills are still very much at the root of this department and when thoughtfully applied to explore the material, memory and meaning they enrich this special discipline.

Our objective is to design and create personal, individual pieces of work that push the boundaries of our subject creating heirlooms of design to enrich people’s lives. Our exhibitions typically include explore fine metalwork in precious and semi-precious metals alongside plastic, resin, textile, paper, stone and other natural materials.
