‘Hannah Keddie is an award-winning designer and silversmith, whose practice is rooted in the traditional metalworking techniques of raising and chasing. Methods such as these allow Hannah to craft bold, sculptural forms in silver enriched with repeating surface pattern.
Intrinsically drawn to the growth and behaviours of sessile creatures, Hannah’s work celebrates the resilience and peculiarities of the living world, as each piece invites a tactile connection between object and beholder.’
