Little set of black and white silver ball scribbles on the way out. #scribbles #mismatchearrings #blackandwhite #oxidised #oxidisedjewellery #oxidisedearrings #handmade #artjewellery #artistmade #sculpturaljewelry #uniquejewellery #jewellerymaker #silversmith #artforyourears #wearableart #wearablesculpture #minimal #minimaljewellery #stuartcairns #artist #maker #smith #smallsculpture #tinysculpture #drawing #sketch #shadows #marks #jewellerylover #mismatch https://www.instagram.com/p/B-E3xLApULI/?igshid=1wk1ulfdfm6jt

A few scribbles in the low winter sun casting long shadows signing off the workshop for 2019. Last orders are out so I’m taking a break from the workshop for a wee while. Having a much needed rest to recover from what seemed like a hectic year. I’ll also be drawing up plans for everything that’s coming up in 2020- loads I’m looking forward to already. But more about that later. Enjoy your holidays! #scribbles #scrawls #shadows #toolsdown #endofyear #onthebench #visuallanguage #visuallife #takeabreak #sculpture #sculptural #contemporaryart #contemporarycraft #contemporaryjewellery #silversmith #metalsmith #stuartcairns #artist #maker #smith #irishart #irishartist #workshop #studio #winterlight #longshadows https://www.instagram.com/p/B6bYR4AHTqi/?igshid=wg65v6thm9ep

Plastic formers found discarded on the beach.. I’m thinking spoons..

This is how 2020 is looking so far exhibition wise.. I’m showing at Schmuck in Munich this year with a group of Irish jewellers and smiths, I’m showing with @steinbeisserorg In CODA in the Netherlands in a group show. I have a 2 person show with Abridged in August in the Verbal Arts Centre In Derry then onto Galway as part of the Tulca festival. What Colour is Metal is a group show of metalsmiths at the National Gallery of Craft and Design at Kilkenny and I’m also really pleased to be sending @pragmata_gallery some pieces to show in Japan. So looking pretty busy .. The @newcraftsmangallery in St.Ives continues to support by work and holds a collection of my objects and jewellery. More details and new work s the year progresses .. #2020 #exhibitions #upcoming #comingsoon #newshows #contemporaryart #contemporarycraft #contemporaryirishart #contemporarymetalwork #lists #blackboard #artistsstudio #stuartcairns #artist #maker #smith https://www.instagram.com/p/B7YfRwEAiec/?igshid=nigb3fazx47w
