General news and information regarding Hammer & Hand in Hobart or Bangalow.

The Jewellery and Metal artists of Hammer and Hand are holding their much anticipated winter exhibition opening night. This winter’s theme is “MetaLust” – each of the 10 members of our eclectic collective will be unveiling an exciting range of work from their own new collections. The collective has been running for 6 years, supporting and showcasing local jewellery and metal artists, and offering unique, wearable art and sculpture at studio prices.

Come along and enjoy Hammer and Hand’s 2015 winter exhibition and sit around the fire drums with a tasty treat while you’re there.

Forged from “316 Stainless Steel” with a cast Bronze feature riveted

I heard that some gems.. Ruby, Sapphire and Diamonds can be cast directly into hot metal…
So I had a go!.. No change to their colour but…
I think the shrinking of the metal as it cooled caused them to crack…Also experimenting with Core-Casting..

I will be having a stall at MOMA on Sunday. I will have some of the recycled aluminium jewellery that is in Hammer and Hand, and also jewellery made from a variety of other interesting recycled materials; basketball, innertube and retro artificial fruit will all be featuring as fabulous rubbery adornments!
12-5pm on the Mona lawn. Cocktails and other delicious food aplenty!

Only a week to go ! .. Unique and wonderful gifts for that special one in your life !
