Discover more about Seamus Gill

Séamus Gill's work is about the joy of working directly with his material, using a hammer and anvil to transform a flat sheet of metal with traditional age-old silversmithing skills. He exploits the working qualities of silver or bronze, stretching and compressing the metal to move it into elegant three dimensional forms. Working in harmony with the natural movement of the metal often leads to his work being compared to natural forms.
