Angela Cork

I am a contemporary designer silversmith based in London specialising in creating useable, sculptural objects that hopefully will not blend into the background. My timeless designs compliment any setting, whether it be an 18th century mantlepiece or a restaurant table.

I regularly show my work in galleries and exhibitions and details can be found on my News page which is regularly updated.

I developed my skills at The Royal College of Art, where I graduated in 2002 with an MA in Silversmithing and I have settled a Kingsgate Workshops in West Hampstead where I create jewellery and large silversmithing pieces. As well as designing and making my own work, I teach at several learning centres and have also returned to Bishopsland as a course tutor.

My aim is to create visually challenging pieces which retain their functionality. I am concerned with the balance of the object and also the space around and within it. My range of vases employ very simple, clean designs that juxtapose and yet enhance the organic nature of the flowers being displayed which although sit gracefully within the vase, are rigidly controlled as to their position, size and quantity.

I am pleased to undertake commissions for bespoke one-off pieces or larger quantities and have completed work for many customers including:

• The Financial Times,
• The P & O Makower Trust,
• The Rothschild Family
• and St John's College, Cambridge.

Please contact me to discuss any ideas or requirements that you may have.
