I was listening to Radio 4 yesterday morning and I heard about silversmith Jocelyn Burton. I have never come cross her name before but then I have realised that she is one of well practised silversmith in UK.
Her interview with Radio 4 was very interesting for me as I work with precious metals too. One of the things I do really agree with her was that gaining good craft skills were something you have to spend time to gain. Nowadays, there so much focus into designs, so a lot of good designs come with lack of details and good finish.
