Rauni Higson

Masterclass Tutor

Rauni Higson is a leading British Silversmith, known for her distinctive sculptural work, often responding to and inspired by the natural world and landscape. Much of her work is made to commission, for celebration and commemoration; contemporary designs created using traditional silversmithing techniques, principally by forging and hammer-forming sheet silver. She set up her studio in the dramatic landscape of Snowdonia in 1997, after training at Lahti Design Institute in Finland, her mother’s native country. She is passionate about sharing skills.

Her work is in many collections, including the V&A Museum, six pieces in the Goldsmiths’ Company Collection, the National Museum of Wales, and commissions include a Processional Cross for Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, the Prince Phillip Challenge Trophy for Henley Royal Regatta.
