A studio for singular things 01 / 04
For curious minds and extraordinary ideas. An artist-led atelier working with fine silver, decorative metalwork, illumination and unusual objects that deserve to exist.
Step inside the workshopThe stranger the idea, the better.
There is always something in progress. A little metal dust. Some unfinished sketches. A tool that looks implausibly specific. And somewhere among it all, the beginning of something worth keeping.
Old techniques.
New possibilities.
02 / THINGS WE LIKE TO MAKE
There is no catalogue of perfectly ordinary objects here. Each direction begins with a material, a technique, and a conversation.
a steady hand01 / PAPER, PIGMENT & PRECIOUS METAL
Illuminated manuscripts, ceremonial documents, precious-metal leaf, silverpoint drawing and bespoke book details. For words that deserve to become an object in their own right.
Talk about book arts02 / WIRE, METAL & MINUTE DETAILS
Fine-silver inlay, delicate granulation, engraved embellishment, ornamentation and sculptural work. Sometimes the most captivating detail is smaller than a fingernail.
Discuss metalwork
STUDY / III03 / OBJECTS, MEMORY & IMAGINATION
Historically informed reproductions, decorative replacement components, intimate curiosities and ceremonial pieces. Where conservation expertise is required, commissions are assessed with appropriate specialists.
Bring us your unusual object
Fine03 / THE MATERIAL
Fine silver has a quiet brilliance. It can be formed into sculptural objects, worked into decorative surfaces, prepared as wire, or used in delicate metal arts.
Its softness demands judgement about where it belongs. Certain applications may call for other alloys, specialist processes or a collaboration with another craftsperson. Materials should always serve the object.
What could we make from it?04 / THE UNUSUAL ENQUIRY
A lost silver fitting for an old cabinet. A handwritten family chronicle. A tiny astronomical instrument. A ceremonial object with a peculiar history. We enjoy ideas that don't fit neatly on a form.
The unusual is very much the point.
THE NEXT OBJECT BEGINS HERE
Bring a drawing, an object, a half-formed notion or a question nobody has been able to answer. Tell us as much as you can, and we'll begin with a conversation about what's possible.
Every strange object begins somewhere.
