Joanne Thompson @ The Scottish Gallery

Joanne Thompson presents a new collection celebrating 25 years as a practising jeweller. The focus is on her iconic chain mail technique.  She experiments with scale, weight, form and texture of the chains, making sculptural forms, necklaces, bracelets and earrings which are voluminous yet light, tactile and extremely durable. She is fascinated by unit construction techniques in jewellery making, and enjoys the way hard precious metals can be translated into soft forms which flow and stir with the body.
