Tara Coomber hand-raised many of Martyn Pugh’s designs from 1999 to 2004. To acknowledge her work, Pugh engraved the words “Tara Coomber helped make me” in discreet places on several pieces. Coomber’s personal output includes a range of bold and delicate designs, with an emphasis on simplicity of line. The artist’s superb craftsmanship is apparent in her exhibited boxes. Coomber’s Ammonite box, made for a desktop, is quite tactile and brilliantly incorporates a cross-section of a fossil for the ribbed, spiral-formed shell of the ancient sea creature. Among Coomber’s numerous awards are the Assay Office Prize from the British Jewellery Association and a grant from the Goldsmiths’ Company. Special thanks to The Pearson Silver Collection. "A Sterling Renaissance: British Silver Design 1957 to 2018" is on display, pre-security, in the International Terminal. http://bit.ly/BritishSilver

"Behind the world of the artisan is…that desire to take an inanimate material, and bring it to life in a form or image that will sing out; that desire to pay homage to my surroundings, to my creativity; that thanksgiving to that first bite into the apple of awareness."

"When invited to exhibit at the inaugural "Elements" silver show in Edinburgh…my memories of the Periodic Table hung in my science classroom…sparked the idea to use them as the basis for my piece, executed with a mixture of precision and freedom that I hope characterizes all my work."

In designing his soup tureen and ladle, Chris Knight stated his intention to “take a breath and move away from [his] confrontational work to make a simple, functional piece of silverware” and “a small comment on the cross-cultural nature of modern society in the millennium…all nationalities have their soup.”
