Metalworks!
19 March 2011 – 3 March 2012
Free
Metalwork has played a central role in our lives for centuries, from everyday domestic objects to the ceremonial commissions found in churches and government buildings. Combining works from the permanent collection and the Goldsmiths’ Company Collection, on loan from London, this exciting new exhibition showcases some of the most prominent figures in the history of British metalworking and explores how they have engaged with this versatile material. Sitting alongside the historic silver in this exhibition is a comprehensive selection of modern and contemporary metalwork by some of the leading makers in Britain such as Gerald Benney, Malcolm Appleby and Chris Knight.

A Creative Intervention
Provost Skene’s House, Aberdeen

Over the last few months second and third year students from the 3D Design Course at Gray’s School of Art have been developing a project based on Provost Skene’s House, a 16th century building in the city centre. Using the historical context, architecture and interior furnishings of the house as sources of research and inspiration for their designs, the students’ final objects will be on display throughout the period rooms within the building, providing some interesting juxtapositions.
