After a trip to the Windy City and a sojourn to Istanbul, the Wearable Pewter exhibition has decided to skip off to France. You can see all these glorious works at Alliages in Lille, September 21st through December 7th of 2019. I like the piece I made for this - it has a lovely weight when worn and it makes bell-like chimes as the pieces tap into one another. However, I must say that my favorite piece from the exhibition is by David Harper Clemons. He cleverly carved the wood in a way that causes the cast pewter to lock into place. These radiating planes create an etherial nimbus for one’s neck. If you find yourself in the area, please check out the show.
