| Abstract: | The interconnection of jewellery and textiles has a long history, given the intimate relationship of both crafts to the body and personal expression. But what is the nature of this bond today? Looking from the perspective of the contemporary jeweller, the catalogue and exhibition ask how and why are makers looking to textiles as they design? Jewellers featured are: Flora Bhattachary, Eleanor Bolton, Elizabeth Bone, Caroline Broadhead, Megan Brown, Nina Bukvic, Susan Cross, Alison Evans, Ella Fearon-Low, Nora Fok, Gill Galloway-Whitehead, Anna Gordon, Faye Hall, Sue Hiley Harris, Teri Howes, Yoko Izawa, Ulli Kaiser, Andrew Lamb, Gilly Langton, Ruth Leslie, Catherine Martin, Jacqueline Mina, Caitlin Murphy, Angela O'Kelly, David Poston, Sarah Pulvertaft, Jane Sedgwick, Charlotte Smith, Joanne Thompson, Liz Willis, Misun Won. | ||||

| Additional Information: | Linear Brooch Anna Gordon recalls that her relationship to textiles in her work stretches back twenty years; the pattern and texture of the fabric on which a brooch – her favoured form – is worn, ‘is always there, in the background’. This connection has deepened and her work in precious metals often evokes the warp and weft of a woven structure and the volume of intertwined threads. When making Linear Brooch Anna describes: ‘I was looking at drawing and three-dimensional layering of line. The piece is made of thin sheet rolled into tubes. The curve happens naturally when the sheet is pulled through a drawplate and the tubes are open seamed. The brooch was one of 12 made for Collect, inspired by samplers in embroidery. Each had a fixed form (60 x 60mm) and tested different techniques and materials’. | ||||
