Dr Malcolm Appleby

Master Class Leader and Honorary Fellow of Bishopsland

A pre-eminent British silversmith, with an international following and reputation. Known primarily as an engraver, he applies these skills to jewellery and metal forms. Designs draw from the natural world, myths and elemental ideas, and personal experience; the decorative process becomes complementary to the final form.

Abigail Asher

Bishopsland Fellow 2017-2018

Working with universally recognizable objects as my influence, I select objects that are specifically mass produced to perform to our cultures demand of fast paced development and disposability- to forms that I consider to be heavily entwined with perceptions of social class and worth.
In the context of fine jewellery I use this stimulus to manipulate the aesthetic characteristics of such objects in aim of displaying qualities both desirable and hostile in nature- representing themes of a violent and sexualized subconscious hiding beneath the facade of normal society and the flawed nature of the complex human condition.

Natasha Awan

Bishopsland Fellow 2003-2004

Hyun Baek

Bishopsland Fellow 2018-2020

I have a BAF and MAF from Kookmin University in Korea and have been developing my craft by working alongside William Lee from 2016-2018.

My work is inspired by Timespace, and is based on the scientific theory by Einstein that time and space combine with each other.

But my work doesn’t reflect the scientific fact. Instead, I focus on how I can represent these concepts with metal. Space becomes the surface, Time becomes the line of my piece from my imagination.

Every single line is the time of a person. On the same space, individual time flow away from or cause effect upon each other.

Henry Ball

Bishopsland 2021-2022

Congratulations to Henry on winning a bronze award for Chasing at the Craftsmanship & Design awards in February 2022

After completing an apprenticeship in thatching, Henry undertook a degree in historic metalcraft practice at West Dean College, where he developed a vast skillset as a silversmith.

Having used many different materials in the past, silver stood out to him above all else. He feels it is a very intuitive and forgiving material to work with and takes comfort in the ever present possibility of melting it down and starting again.

Focusing on using traditional techniques he prides himself on being able to make whatever it is he desires, but in general he tries to emulate natural forms and patterns – his inspiration often coming from his coastal Suffolk upbringing and spending his time outdoors.

Above all else, he wants his work to be considered as tactile. His intent is for people to interact with his work, feel its weight, and see how it catches the light as it is moved around.

Ela Banach

Bishopsland Fellow 2010-2011

Caius Bearder

Bishopsland 2021-2022

My designs stem from my love for the coasts of my home island of Guernsey, specifically the forms and shapes found in rockpools and cliff faces.

The island’s rich and expansive history has left its coasts with a patchwork of architectural structures and unspoilt natural beauty. I draw most of my inspiration from this multitude of natural coastal forms, especially those found in rockpools and at the base of cliff faces.

I work using a range of metals and finishes, which encourage viewer interaction with the work, using the innate preciousness and weight of the metal to help communicate both the grounded physicality of the coastal constructions and the fragility of the smaller organic elements.

The final designs use a range of traditional silversmithing techniques such as chasing and press forming to help reflect this contrast, resulting in tactile, contemporary final outcomes.

Hannah Bedford

Bishopsland Fellow 2004-2005

Hannah’s jewellery designs explore texture and form using the traditional process of granulation. Collections are inspired by organic growth patterns in the natural world. Hannah uses granulation to create raised, textured surfaces that entwine each piece.

Teresa Belmont

Bishopsland Fellow 1996-1997

Brodie Birss

Bishopsland Fellow 2019-2020

I believe that immersing ourselves in nature and working with our hands to create tangible outcomes is essential to our physical and mental well-being. To that effect I aim to create tactile work that is visually interesting and is reflective of the wonderful landscape we live in.

Brodie B Designs

Colette Bishop

Bishopsland Fellow 2011-2012

I like to explore the relationship between the natural world and the man-made. In some of my collections I play with the notions of preciousness by re-contextualising everyday objects and artefacts, questioning people’s perceptions of value by playing with aesthetic qualities and contrasts within my pieces.

Rebecca Sarah Black

Bishopsland 2016-2017

Rebecca Sarah Black is a Scottish contemporary jewellery designer and bone smith.

Rebecca creates statement, sculptural and wearable jewellery. Her work is inspired by our constant struggle with identity, the harsh landscape of the coastline and traditional Scottish folklore. Reacting and responding to this she designs work that evokes a sense of place within the wearer.

Working in a transformative process, she takes material that has no precious quality and builds them up or carves them into something new, complex and emotive, giving her work a new precious quality. Her work mimics the forms of rough natural rocks of the shore line, reflecting the shapes and forms she finds visually inspiring, and evokes a natural feeling of connection to the landscape and sense of place within the wearer.

Anna Burger Martindale

Bishopsland Fellow 2014-2015

Anna studied at Alberta College of Art and Design, Canada.

Rebecca-Anne Boldra

Bishopsland Fellow 2011-2012

Rebecca-anne Boldra is inspired by the world around her, particularly architectural forms. Her designs explore the contrast between straight lines and flowing curves to aid her exploration of functionality and its effect on the concept of beauty.

Sophie Botsis

Bishopsland Fellow 2012-13

Lauren Braithwaite

Bishopsland 2016-2017

Lauren Ellen Braithwaite is a contemporary jewellery designer and maker.

Lauren gains great satisfaction through the process of designing and creating for a purpose. To design pieces of jewellery that have sentiment to individuals is her ambition.

Her work to date has been based upon the idea of taking a moment or a memory and encompassing it within a piece of jewellery. She was using photography and abstracting it to create simple forms within a circle that represented a camera lens. This process could be completed for anyone’s memories. It’s a way of being able to carry the value of the memory in a wearable object made from precious materials.

Lin Cheung MA (RCA)

Bishopsland Fellow 1994-1995

My practice is shaped by a questioning and curious attitude toward what jewellery is and what it could be. I have a particular interest in exploring the full potential of jewellery, both as a designed and crafted object and as a philosophical expression of the human condition.

Sun Woo Choi

Bishopsland Fellow 2008-2009

https://www.facebook.com/sunwoo.choi.3

Ane Christensen MA (RCA)

Senior Fellow, commissioned 2001

Most of my work in the last 6 years has been the result of applying a strict set of rules throughout my design and work process. My latest work is a move toward a more abstract expression. Without strictly following my previous ‘set of rules’, it continues the exploration of negative space, optical illusion and deconstruction.

Linda Chu

Bishopsland Fellow 2012-2013

Linda Chu is inspired by the natural movement of organic forms; through the development of her work she tries to capture the motions of a piece to give her work a visually exciting aesthetic.

Rania Clark

Bishopsland Fellow 2001-2002

David Clarke MA (RCA)

Senior Fellow, commissioned 1997

The aesthetic most often associated with Clarke’s work relates to the subversive nature in which he responds to the entrenched traditions of silversmithing, often taking it to surprising extremes. This absolute willingness to experiment and play inappropriately sets Clarke apart.

Amanda Coleman

Bishopsland Fellow 1995-1996

Amanda makes highly personal contemporary jewellery, inspired by her interest in fairy tales, mystery and magic, and a fascination with flower forms and insect life.

http://www.amandacoleman.co.uk/

Victoria Coleman

Bishopsland Fellow 2008-2009

I am fascinated by combining contrasting fluid forms with geometric lines, and exploring balance and shadows. The design language I strive to create is deliberately architectural and gently organic, where the industrial structure and features of a bowl can evoke the whisper of a flower or a gift from nature.

http://www.victoriacolemandesign.com/

Emily Collins

Bishopsland Fellow 1998-1999

My main inspiration is to create harmonious compositions of colour and surface texture. I experiment with simple geometric forms, playing with subtle difference and similarities of form, scale, weight and colour.
