Tracey Birchwood Porcelain Jewellery – New at Plush Jewellery

Tracey Birchwood Tassel Porecelain Pendant - Blue and Silver - £156

We weren’t expecting a parcel to arrive from Tracey Birchwood Porcelain Jewellery so quickly!
We were only introduced to Tracey’s fantastic wire wrapped porcelain jewellery a few weeks ago by our chum Ralph who said we had to take a look at it because he knew we’d love it and he wasn’t wrong.
Tracey Birchwood Porcelain Jewellery is made from porcelain intricately wrapped with very fine wire. Geometric patterns feature strongly in all Tracey Birchwood jewellery and all the surface decoration is precisely applied by hand by Tracey in her studio at the Manchester Craft and Desin Centre in the city’s Nothern Quarter.
The original Tracey Birchwood collection incorporates silver wire with coloured porcelain and each piece has a subtle yet glittery appearance. In contrast the funky collection incorporates a medley of strong vibrant colours in bold stripes and checks. This innovative range combines Tracey’s trademark porcelain with enamelled copper wire.
The ‘Tassel’ collection is more glamorous! Each individual piece of jewellery combines very simple fittings with multiple porcelain drops.
Tracey Birchwood graduated in 3-Dimensional Design from Brighton University where she majored in ceramics. Tracey is from Manchester and after her degree she moved back home and in 1996 established her studio at the Manchester Craft and Desin Centre.
You can see (and purchase) Tracey Birchwood Porcelain Jewellery over at the Plush Jewellery website www.plushjewellery.co.uk/traceybirchwood.asp

Hannah Bedford Jewellery – Coming Soon to Plush Jewellery

Hannah Bedford Jewellery - Granulated Cuff and Ring in Sterling Silver and Gold

Hannah Bedford Jewellery - crown rings Hand forged silver bands encrusted with a crown of granulation. Available in silver, oxidised silver and gold.

We are massively overexcited to be able to announce that the fabulous Hannah Bedford will soon be showing her work with us here at Plush Jewellery. Hannah graduated from the prestigious Birmingham School of Jewellery with a first class honours degree in 2004 and has been represented at Collect and exhibited at Origin. Her studio is at Cockpit Arts Deptford, the heart of South London’s creative community.

Hannah Bedford’s jewellery designs explore texture and form using the traditional processes of granulation and Keum-boo (fine gold fusing). Working in golds and silver, Hannah creates a range of women’s jewellery, from bespoke neckpieces through to delicate earrings and rings.

Collections are inspired by organic growth patterns in the natural world. Hannah uses gold fusing and granulation to create raised, textured surfaces that entwine each piece and takes great care to work on the underside of a piece. The work is often led by these technical explorations, using them to play with scale, form and contrasting precious metals to create aesthetically beautiful forms.

Hannah Bedford Jewellery - gold and silver granulated studs Cup earrings with a cluster of 18ct gold granules.

Hannah Bedford Jewellery - berry pendant Elegant pendant with a single disc of granulation. Available in silver, oxidised silver, gold plate and 18ct gold

Exciting New Openings in Chichester

We do love a new opening here at Plush Towers and two fantastic new places have opened their doors very near us in Chichester’s East Street in the past couple of days.

Whitewall Galleries opened just before the weekend and I’ve already fallen in love with more art than I have wall space for and, and, and they’ve got a Rolf Harris exhibition soon. Take a peep at the Whitewall Galleries website for more information www.whitewallgalleries.com

The Real Eating Company Cafe opened today, they source food from the best local producers and find top quality hand-made specialities and award winning British products. They’ve not put info about the Chichester cafe on their website yet but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time – take a look at what the Real Eating Company do at www.real-eating.co.uk
