‘the renaissance of British silversmithing’
Now in its second year British Silver Week is aiming to further
promote contemporary British silversmithing to an even wider
audience. We will be promoting over 20 selling events in galleries
and specialist shops across the UK. Additionally British Silver Week
has a major, month long, exhibition at Chatsworth House, the
home of the silver collector and connoisseur, the
Duke of Devonshire..
The Goldsmiths' Company is our lead patron and is also generously
sponsoring British Silver Week. The British Silver Week private
view will be held in the livery hall at Goldsmiths' Hall on 2nd June
2009 to which the patrons, sponsors and friends of British Silver
Week are all invited. Over 100 silversmiths will be displaying their
wonderful work at the private view. We will also be showing a sample
of one of the world's largest private collections of contemporary
silversmithing, the Pearson Collection.
The selling exhibitions will start on 8th June across the UK in
conjunction
with the Chatsworth House event.
We estimate that in our first year through our press and public
relations campaign British Silver Week promoted modern British
silversmithing to over 10 million people – we are even more
ambitious for 2009! |
