NI Silversmiths, Cara Murphy and Stuart Cairns, exhibit in the latest exhibition of the Contemporary British Silversmiths at the Capstone Gallery, Liverpool Hope University.
SIDE x SIDE – EDGE > EDGE is the latest collection of silverware by Contemporary British Silversmiths and the first exciting collaboration with the Finnish Silversmiths Association and students and staff at the Lahti University of Applied Sciences Institute of Design, the exhibition features 75 pieces of new work designed and made in response to the themed title.
Finnish manufacturer Kultakeskus Oy generously sponsored each participating maker with 1kg of silver encouraging members to challenge their creative thinking.

The exhibition was launched, alongside the Silver Trust’s stunning 10 Downing Street collection, at Häme Castle in Hämeenlinna in 4 August 2009. Finland’s oldest castle provided a wonderful contrasting space in which to show contemporary silverware.
