Hannah Keddie is a Glasgow-based silversmith and graduate of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, working primarily with the traditional metalworking techniques of raising and chasing. Originally from the Black Isle in the Scottish Highlands, her practice is deeply informed by an early and intrinsic connection to the natural world, which continues to shape her affinity with organicism and living form.

Her work explores themes of growth, resilience and repopulation, creating playful, evolving forms that appear to bud, unfurl and breathe, often seeming soft despite being made in silver. Through labour-intensive hand methods, Hannah imbues her metalwork with a sense of movement and warmth. These processes allow her to craft bold, fluid forms with organic surface pattern, blending sculpture and function.
