Adrian Hope

I will be exhibiting at Silverstruck which celebrates the current strength of contemporary silversmithing in the UK, reflecting new directions realised by traditional and cutting-edge techniques.

A Ruthin Craft Centre National Museum Wales exhibition, organised as part of Celf Cymru Gyfan – ArtShare Wales
Showing at National Museum Cardiff 12 April until mid July 2011.

There is an extraordinary pair of films playing at the exhibition “silverstruck”.

The first is the narrative of how Adrian Hope’s Snowbowl was made filmed by Shannon Tofts. The second screen shows is a time lapse animation of that same bowl from flat disc to its final form. It shows as clearly as possible just how silver behaves. Every maker knows this is what they are doing in the process of raising but this is the first time we’ve been able to see it.
