100 Women 100 Brooches 100 Stories

‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor’ was launched at Gallery Artisan last Thursday to celebrate 100 years of International Women’s Day.   100 great Australian women paired up with a jeweller to produce a brooch in response to their stories. I was paired up with Dr Dorothy Hill a geologist that worked extensively in Queensland. I really enjoyed this project as there were some lovely connections. I choose mica from Mt Isa and sapphire from Rubyvale. The simple claw setting allows the materials to speak for themselves. If you are interested in contemporary jewellery this is a must see show. ‘Tinker Tailor’ continues to 12th November and will continue on a National Tour.
