Silver + Form announces its inaugural exhibition and fair, set to take place at the stunning Turner Contemporary Art Gallery in Margate. The event, running from October 19th to 20th, 2024, will showcase a captivating collection of contemporary jewellery, silverware, objets d’art, and sculptures crafted by some of the most talented silversmiths and metalsmiths in the UK.
Passion
Silver + Form was founded by Anja Hessler, a Ramsgate-based artist known for her contemporary mobile sculptures, and Nessa Warner, who uses traditional silver-smithing methods to make one-of-a-kind pieces of contemporary jewellery. The event was conceived out of a shared passion for creativity and craftsmanship, with the goal of providing a platform that highlights the diversity and excellence of contemporary jewellery and metalwork.
The Turner Contemporary Art Gallery, lauded by art critic Waldemar Januszczak as “probably the most elegant gallery interior in Britain right now,” provides the perfect backdrop for this celebration of craftsmanship and design. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to meet 24 of
the UK’s most exciting emerging and established jewellery designers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths, and purchase exquisite handmade pieces directly from the creators.
Highlight
Anja Hessler, co-founder of Silver + Form, comments: “Silver + Form aspires to become a must-attend event in the fine jewellery and contemporary silver calendar. By showcasing the best UK-based designer-makers, we aim to establish this fair as an annual highlight, drawing both seasoned art enthusiasts and new visitors to Margate and Turner Contemporary. Our goal is to solidify Silver + Form’s place as a key event in the art and design world.”
