Salome Lippuner

 

Hello from all of us here at Lesley Craze Gallery. We've decided to start a blog to give a little insight into all thats going on in the gallery from day to day.

Last week Swiss jewellery artist Salome Lippuner was visiting London and she dropped into the gallery to give us her new collection of lacquered jewellery. She spent all morning here telling us about each piece, how they were made and what inspired her. She uses a complex process with involves applying layer after layer of japanese Urushi lacquer to a base, which is then smoothed and polished until the slightest shadow is turned into a rich lustrous shine.
