Alchemists attempted to purify, mature, and perfect certain materials. Rachel seeks to turn metals, in particularly, gold into as many colours as possible. 

As artists mix oil paint to create various tones and shades, Rachel blends fine gold, silver, copper, palladium and platinum to create her own palette of gold. 

‘The Art of Alchemy - Painting with Metal’ showcases one-ok-a-kind pieces of fine jewellery that explores colour. From colour changing bars of gold to spectrums of coloured opal and diamonds, Rachel brings colour to your your jewellery. 

Rachel Jones is an award winning fine jeweller working from her London studio. 

Discover contemporary jewellery, silversmithing and metal embroidery made with hand-drawn wire, presented in partnership with The Worshipful Company of Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers.

The craft of hand-drawing and using gold or silver round or flattened wire has a rich heritage. Craftspeople continue to learn and evolve this traditional skill, adapting it to the designs of today.

The exhibition, Drawn and Formed, will bring together a wide selection of craft work, from the intricate and beautiful jewellery of Andrew Lamb to the delicate detailed embroidery designs of Laura Baverstock. It will provide a unique insight into the process of drawing and working with wire; and will celebrate the very best UK craftspeople against a backdrop of historic work.
