In 2011, #TheresaNguyen created her Spiritus centerpiece for an exhibition at the Goldsmiths’ Company in London. The fold-formed piece explored the artist’s perception of containment. #BritishSilver @TNguyenSilver This tweet was posted on April 03, 2019.

Of Nigerian descent, #NdidiEkubia cites inspiration from her African heritage to create flowing, sculptural, and highly expressive forms that range from small, domestic items to stunning centerpieces. #BritishSilver #silver @NdidiEkubia This tweet was posted on March 26, 2019.

The form of #NdidiEkubia’s Flamingo vase, hand-raised from a single sheet, appears liquid, as if the silver is flowing upward from the eye of a cyclone. #BritishSilver @NdidiEkubia #silver This tweet was posted on March 26, 2019.

"I am excited by the sensual and rich forms that can be created by the rhythmic process of making and believe my nature is reflected through my work. It is delightful to be absorbed in every stage, from design to the finished piece." #NdidiEkubia #BritishSilver @NdidiEkubia This tweet was posted on March 26, 2019.

"Chance is always a welcome part of the design process for me. Fold-forming results in an imperfect symmetry which is very common in nature." - Rauni Higson (b. 1970) #BritishSilver This tweet was posted on March 13, 2019.

Higson made the vase by fold-forming, a contemporary technique pioneered by Charles Lewton Brain in the early 1980s. When fold-forming, a sheet of metal is folded, hammered, and then unfolded—revealing varying, and sometimes surprising, results. #BritishSilver This tweet was posted on March 13, 2019.

Much of #RauniHigson’s silverwork echoes the landscape of the Snowdonia mountain region of North #Wales. Higson’s #Persephone #vase represents the irrepressible growth of springtime vegetation found in Snowdonia’s harsh environment. #BritishSilver This tweet was posted on March 13, 2019.
