Hammer & Hand is a metal & jewellery collective based in Hobart, Tasmania and Bangalow, New South Wales.

So a few more “works in progress” pieces from Josh and myself …

‘A guiding Hand’  (Bruce)

‘Jacks hands…’    (Bruce)

‘Jack’

‘Jack’ again.. “Here is the man all tattered and torn who kissed the girl all forlorn, who milked the cow with the crumpled horn,

who chased the dog that worried the cat that ate the rat that ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built”… ie: the full catastrophe .. or just runaway house prices.. ?

A little silver ‘critter’ , sand-cast by Josh.

Some clay ‘masters’ of Josh’s to be cast in Bronze.
