Anne Clare Graham

Her work:

The concept and inspiration for these jewellery designs have evolved through a series of observations and drawings of architectural and organic forms and their juxtaposition. This has resulted in her work being a combination of geometric and stylised natural shapes. The pieces are fabricated using traditional techniques and experimenting with new ones. The details and patterns are integrated in the designs through the use of texture, shape and form balancing symbolic elements in silver and gold and silver and Perspex.

The coloured Perspex brooches are laser cut so incorporate the use of new technology.

Her Curriculum:

Anne Clare Graham is a graduate from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art. As well as her main profession as a lecturer, Anne works as a professional jewellery maker from her own workshop in Kilbarchan, designing and making jewellery and small silversmithing pieces, predominantly in precious metals, sometimes incorporating semi-precious and precious stones mainly for galleries and commissions.

Her work has been exhibited widely including Goldsmiths’ Hall, Liberty’s, Kelvingrove Art Gallery, Roger Billcliffe Gallery, The Scottish Gallery, The National Museums of Scotland,Galerie Beeld & Aambeeld in Holland and galleries in New York, Japan, France Australia and Germany. A collection of her work is always available at the Roger Billcliffe Gallery.

Major commissions include a presentation piece for Baroness Thatcher, the former Prime Minister, Scottish Gas, the BBC for ‘Making Waves’ and the ‘Negotiator’, the 1999 film ‘The Match‘ (she was also asked ’on set’ as a professional consultant and hired out part of her workshop for props). Her napkin rings were selected as part of the 1999 Civic Gift Collection for Glasgow City Council. Her work has been selected for Artisan and for Scottish Select and is held in private collections.

She was selected as a participant in Onno Boekhoudt’s masterclass at Edinburgh College of Art in 1998.
