Bonnie Powell creates wearable objects using traditional casting methods and hand forming techniques. Founded in Glasgow in 2018, but recently relocated to Manchester. Her collections inhabit the space between craft processes and simple designs for modern wear.

Each item maintains individual marks, variations and indentations - a gentle testament to the hand making process. Over time, sterling silver will develop marks and a patina that is individual to the owner, building a continuous dialogue between wearer and object.

Continuing to draw on the contrast between modernist jewellery design and the abstracted fluid proportions of the human body, the new pieces subtly lean into the forms found in ancient artefacts. Stemming from a selection of postcards gathered from the collection displayed at The Stonehenge exhibition from 2022, that I have been slowly weaving through my work for a while. 

As before, the influences are not always obviously apparent or representative, but come though in the form of a soft curve taken from a bone in an earring or cuff, or gently moulded surface reminiscent of carved stone in hair pin.
