The 25 for 25 Collection
The 25 for 25 Collection
Our most treasured moments – births and marriages, anniversaries and accomplishments – stand out like rocks in the river of our lives, precious peaks that give shape and meaning to our time on earth.
But the river of time is swift and relentless, and it’s all too easy for those pivotal moments to be subsumed, leaving only faded photographs and hazy memories. So, how do you capture a moment in the river of time?
Give yourself an eternally beautiful way to treasure your memories…
The rivers of Snowdonia
All the rivers in Snowdonia flow fast. The incredible geography of the Snowdonia National Park landscape is based around a seriously ancient super volcano, with coast around three sides,
The rain falls on the mountains and doesn’t have far to go down to the sea, it falls swiftly down the steep slopes and out to sea, bouncing off the rugged rocks of Granite, Slate, Dolerite, Rhyolite and Limestone, and carving new routes through the ancient glacial valleys.
I aim to distil my appreciation and wonder for this extraordinary landscape and express it in silver.
25 for 25
I am celebrating my silver anniversary, 25 years of following my vocation, by creating 25 unique, numbered boxes inspired by the rivers of Snowdonia. A quarter century ago, I made my first object, I began my adventures in metalsmithing making a simple copper box, and I’ve distilled everything I’ve learned since then into these small treasures.
These small treasures may be heirlooms to be treasured by people a hundred years from now, but they also support knowledge and skills passed hand to hand down the centuries. They are a tangible link in the unbroken chain of skills transferred from smith to smith, from the Bronze Age to now, and into the future.
The next 25 – investing in the future
When purchased directly from me, 25% of the proceeds of each box will go into a future fund to support the next 25 years.
Most of this fund will support my mission to pass on what I’ve been fortunate enough to learn from all the incredible metalsmiths, mentors and teachers who have generously shared their skills, wisdom and experience with me.
25% of the future fund will be an investment in the future of the planet, going to Project Seagrass who plant seagrass meadows for biodiversity and carbon absorption. Find out more about Project Seagrass.
