Malin Winberg


Some new work has just arrived at the gallery! These beautiful silver and oxidised silver pieces are by Malin Winberg. Malin studied Jewellery and Silversmithing at Glasgow School of Art, after moving to the UK from Finland. Her work is inspired by the stories and characters in the Finnish folklore epic ‘The Kalevala’. Malin uses traditional techniques such as raising, forging and chasing silver to create the organic forms and textures found in the Finnish forests and woodlands, where many of these stories take place.
