Nora Fok: Focus On Cloud Nylon

Thank you to those of you who were able to make it to the Private Views of 'Nora Fok: Focus On Cloud Nylon' on Thursday 7th and Saturday 9th February! The exhibition is now well under way and is proving very popular, mesmerizing our visitors. 
Nora Fok is one of Britain's leading contemporary jewellers who uses knitting, weaving, plaiting and knotting to transform nylon micro-filament into extraordinary intricate wearable forms. All of her work is hand dyed and hand knitted! 

‘Cloud Nylon’ has been toured around the UK at venues including the Ruthin Craft Centre, Shiply Art Gallery and the Haywood Gallery, though this is the first time that this work is showing in London!
We have selected  some incredible key pieces which reflect Nora’s delicate craftsmanship and fascination with the natural world.
