Handcrafted silver and gold pendant with silver chain | Marsha Drew
This December, Whitewater Gallery presents Precious Metals, a dazzling exhibition of handcrafted jewellery and sculpture for the Christmas gift season.
Jeweller Marsha Drew's elegant rings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets are crafted from fine and sterling silver with 24 and 18 carat gold, and precious and semi-precious stones. Inspired by the natural beauty of Cornwall's wild coast, woodlands and weather, Drew combines modern and ancient methods to create her uniquely beautiful pieces, including fold forming, to reveal organic shapes and textures, and the early Korean method of Keum-Boo, to adhere pure gold to silver. Metal sculptor Kerry Whittle's work is held in collections throughout the world, including that of the Qatar Royal Family. Having developed his own forging, texturing and welding techniques, Whittle works exclusively with bronze and steel to create stunning contemporary sculptures that define him as one of Cornwall's leading aster craftsman.
The exhibition runs throughout the Christmas season, from Thursday 7 December to Friday 5 January, at Whitewater Galleries in Polzeath and Port Isaac.
