Meryl Ainslie

In silver-work sitting between sculpture and adornment, Meryl Ainslie explores ideas through small endeavours. ‘I rise, I rise’ is a gathering of flower pieces that become counterbalances to teetering towers of soft formed building blocks. The title of this series is taken from Maya Angelou’s poem ‘Still I Rise’. Meryl combines lost wax casting and recycled precious metal with other gathered elements. Her sketchbooks take 2D and 3D forms. In the studio these are developed into brooches and experimental makings.
Special Event: Noon on Sunday 2nd & 9th. Ring sand- casting demonstration. Spaces in the studio will be limited to 8 on a first come basis. No booking. Not suitable for children under 16.
