Art trails: Henley Arts Trail, Oxfordshire Artweeks and Whiteknights Studio Trail plus the V&A!

 It's going to be a busy spring! I'll be at three arts trails and the V&A! 



Silversmithing demonstration at the V&A Museum
16 May

Join us at V&A South Kensington to see demonstrations by silversmiths whose work encompasses a range of styles and techniques.

Along with other silversmiths, I will be demonstrating as part of London Craft Week at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London on the afternoon of 16 May. I will show my scoring tools and show how to score metal. I will also have some finished pieces to show that I made using the scoring technique.

Exhibitions


A BANK HOLIDAY SHOWCASE OF CREATIVITY
4th-6th MAY
I will be at venue 13: Oaken Grove Vineyard

From Henley-On-Thames take the A4155 towards Marlow, after approx 1.5 miles turn left onto Benhams Lane and continue for approx 0.8 miles until you arrive at Oaken Grove vineyard.

Parking is available on site.


18-26 May 2024 

Six great jewellers present a selection of jewellery and silversmithing in silver and gold to appeal to many different tastes. Beautifully crafted using traditional techniques, this gorgeous jewellery includes rings, earrings, necklaces, cuff links and more. There are pieces made with gold, silver, a combination of gold and silver and various gemstones. Our group includes three jewellery teachers and most of us accept commissions, so please come by and have a chat about jewellery and jewellery making!

Overdue update: exhibits next year and book news

 It's been a while since I updated, mostly due to finishing up at the Royal College of Art and graduating in September. It's been an eventful few months! The highlights are: 

Book News: 

You can listen to me chat about my and Janet's book "Silver Jewellery Making" with host Sharon on the Jewelry Journey podcast: find me here in two part episode number 207: https://thejewelryjourney.com/podcasts/ 

Our book is included in the Cooksongold Christmas catalogue: https://www.cooksongold.com/Books/Silver-Jewellery-Making-By-Machi-De-Waard-And-Janet-Richardson-prcode-999-A204

Jewellery News:

My work is available at the lovely New Ashgate Gallery, always worth a visit if you're into high quality craft! https://www.newashgate.org.uk/shop_artists/7702/c/101/machi-de-waard/jewellery 

I'm also delighted to have my work at Platform Gallery, Clitheroe: Winter Showcase of British Craft October 2023 – January 2024 

I will be participating in Henley Arts Trail 4-6 May 2024 - details to be confirmed, but I will be at a vineyard near Hembleden. 

I will also be taking part in Oxfordshire Artweeks at Peach Croft Farm near Abingdon - well worth a visit to see amazing work in a beautiful barn. And there's a lovely farm shop & cafe right next door! Plus plenty of parking. 18-26 May 2024

Teaching News: 

My regular evening classes at Maiden Erlegh in Reading are in full swing again. The next term starts January 29th. Please contact me if you have questions. 

I'm doing private lessons again as well, here are some examples of recent work by private lesson students: 

solid silver armband

silver oval hoop earrings


And lastly, rather randomly, I was on the radio talking to Andrew Peach on BBC Berkshire due to my connection with Reading PA and Reading UK, as I've lived the bulk of my life in one or the other! I'm on at around 7:25am - it was an early morning!- which you can find here (scroll to about 1 hour 25 minutes in): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0ghx2qh
