Candescent: glowing or dazzling from or as if from great heat.

From a Suitcase to a Display Case

At the Art Workers Guild, I unpacked the mining tools that I had brought back from Colombia, and used them to fill the display case. Many admired the round, wooden batea, which twinkled with flecks of gold dust in the sunlight. Colombian coffee sacks completed the setting.

To see how my search for 'Green Gold' and a beautiful, ethical piece of jewellery ends, come and visit us at the Art Workers Guild in London next week (8-14th June). The exhibition is part of Coutts London Jewellery Week and Respond! An RSA Arts & Ecology Initiative.

The exhibition is funded by Cordaid & CAFOD.

Art Workers Guild

The exhibition Green Gold is to be held at the Art Workers Guild, in Bloomsbury, London, which was established in 1884 by a group of young architects associated with the ideas of William Morrris and the Arts and Crafts Movement. The Guild is a society of artists, craftspeople and designers, with many of its current members upholding long-established traditions of workmanship and a desire to contribute to the community. The Guild's members range from animators to architects and mosaic artists to printmakers. There is a reference library and a large number of events are held, from lectures to exhibitions.
