Hannah Keddie is an award-winning designer and silversmith based in Glasgow’s East End, working primarily with the traditional metalworking techniques of raising and chasing. These methods allow her to craft bold, fluid forms enriched with intricate and organic surface patterns, blending sculpture with function.
Hannah’s practice is rooted in an intrinsic connection to the natural world, exploring themes of growth, repopulation, and resilience. She is drawn to crafting playful, evolving forms that seem to bud or unfold from one another, often appearing soft and warm despite being made in silver.
