EXHIBITOR BATH 2011: Fire and Hammers

Fire and Hammers designer maker Aileen McAulay works in silver and unusual semiprecious stones, especially ocean jasper, often hand-cut to suit a particular design. 


Intrigued by the design elements of mechanical items, particularly early 20th century vehicles, Aileen takes inspiration from designers such as Carlo Bugatti and Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh. These influences result in one-off experimental pieces with tubular elements surrounding semiprecious cabochons (the "Tubular Belles") and in the accessible "Klimt" suite with pierced concentric-circle patterns. 


You can see Aileen's full collection at Stand HIB 50 during Handmade in Britain's Bath Show 17th-19th June 2011
