Tribute to the works of Dorothy Hogg MBE

A TRIBUTE TO the achievements of the internationally renowned designer Dorothy Hogg, MBE, is included in Elements, the exhibition of gold, silver and jewellery from 28-30 October at Lyon & Turnbull.

The exhibition includes Goldsmiths' Craft and Design Council (GC&DC) award-winning work from across the years.

The magnificent Fair Game vases, by Fred Rich, who was described by the judges of the 2021 Jacques Cartier Memorial Award as the world's greatest ever art-enameller, will also be displayed.

The vases show plant life of the British Isles with a particular reference to Scotland as well as 41 birds of 25 types. They stand 51cm high, took thousands of hours to create and use over 100 metres of 22ct gold cloisonné wire.

It's the first time the vases, and an exhibition of GC&DC winners, have been exhibited in Scotland.

Elements, Scotland's annual festival of jewellery, silver and gold runs from 28-30 October is organised by The Scottish Goldsmiths Trust in partnership with Lyon & Turnbull fine art auctioneers.
