In the above photo I am holding some earrings that Kim won in a giveaway by 'Altered Alchemy' blogger Luthien Thye. She brought them to the opening just to show me. I sooo admired them she let me hold them for a moment or two.
I purchased a gorgeous bowl made by Barry who explained the in-depth construction process. Not only does he use recycled metals, timber, etc., in his work but he also makes some of the necessary tools required.
I found this bowl particularly appealing because of the different metals and the folds. His work can be found here: http://barrysmithart.com/
Fiona's quiet, reflective calligraphy and bookmaking was the perfect counterpoint to these robust works. I loved this book.
