Leading Australian jeweller Marian Hosking will trace how she has continued to work in the field of jewellery and silver-smithing.

In 2012 Marian Hosking has had her work represented by Galerie Ra at four fairs: Object Rotterdam in February, Frame Munich in March, Collect London in May and a KunstRai , Amsterdam in July. She has 4 pieces in the Design Museum, London exhibition Unexpected Pleasures at NGV Melbourne and is currently working towards another NGV exhibition later this year. The lecture will cover her research methodology and journey as a jeweller and silversmith, how motifs are selected and translated into silver. As a jeweller and maker of small vessels with a keen interest in plants and ecological issues, she works extensively from specific natural environments in Australia selecting individual specimens to highlight their unique forms and sometimes threatened extinction.
