The last few months have all been about bringing together a collaborative project. As we at Shimell and Madden jewellery have a certain direction and aesthetic we are exploring, parallels became apparent with other artists we know, who share a vision of making craft more accessible from the workshops straight to the consumer.

With ideas and enthusiasm coming together, we have taken a leap of all working together to produce a 3 month exhibition at 94 Columbia Road to showcase our work and ethos. Our collective of artists include ourselves, Shimell and Madden displaying jewellery with Myia Bonner and Esther Benjamins Trust along side Illustrator Jake Ambridge and Chrome yellow Books to produce our geometric themed “Metric Shop” dressed and installed by Lora Avedian.

We opened up last weekend with a really positive response so far and a good little celebration with extra help coming in from all friends and family. Thanks to all our parents and Ina Dorthea for keeping the party content with wine and geometric canapes, Matt Densham for the online support, and Simon Rees for the use of Number Ninety Four!!

Here’s a few pics from the launch night…
