FORGE - April Showcase
59 Leather Lane, EC1N 7TJ Rebel Rebel A celebration of bold and beautiful jewellery, inspired by the revered and talented jeweller Sonny Bailey Aird (as seen on the first season of Channel 4's All That Glitters). Rebel Rebel is all about breaking the rules of traditional jewellery. It’s a showcase celebrating designers who push boundaries, experiment, and embrace individuality. Whether it’s through bold designs, unusual materials, or challenging what jewellery can be—Rebel Rebel is about creativity with attitude. It’s about making a statement and not being afraid to stand out! |

FORGE - February Showcase (Anniversary Special)
59 Leather Lane, EC1N 7TJ Invited to exhibit as a special guest for FORGE's 3rd Anniversary We Will Rock You A showcase where bold gems take centre stage in boundary-pushing designs that are rock stars in their own right whether embracing gems, a rock ’n’ roll attitude or inspired by geological wonders. The work of renowned jewellery designer Tamara Gomez (as seen on the first season of Channel 4's All That Glitters) is the inspiration for the theme of this showcase and it is incredible to be exhibiting alongside her. |

Precious Metals Seminar - 29th July, 2022 I was invited to speak at artist Melanie King's 'Precious Metals' seminar on Friday 29th July, 2022. I first met Melanie early in 2021 when she asked me to teach her my silver reclamation from photographic fixer method that I developed to plate my jewellery and artwork as part of my contribution to London Alternative Photography Collective's Sustainable Darkroom Residency back in April 2020. Melanie's work from her project was exhibited at Photofusion, London. The accompanying seminar “broadly considers the use of precious metals in astronomy, photography, jewellery, and engineering". |
