Shimara Carlow




"My silversmithing range is all based on pod vessels; I create small and large pod vessels, bowls, vases and tableware. I use fine silver and 24ct gold to create these pieces, which are all hand raised, from flat sheets of metal. I use hammers and mallets to add surface texture and decoration to the pieces, and acid to take the silver surface back to its natural white state.
The vessels are constructed to be free standing and off centre, giving them a fluid natural quality." - Shimara Carlow
