Keith Watson

Authentic - Bold - Unique: with an aesthetic rooted in 20th century modernism, I try to combine simplicity of design and boldness of concept in my creations. From my small workshop in west Surrey I make mainly pendants, brooches, and earrings in sterling silver and other materials, using traditional silversmith techniques. I take my inspiration from many different sources, but my favourite area is modernist art and architecture from the 1930’s to the 1960’s, and artists such as Ben Nicholson, Mark Rothko, and Barbara Hepworth. I’m also fascinated by stained glass, and several pieces are based around modern church or cathedral glass, particularly by glass artists such as John Piper and Thomas Denny. I don’t do production runs or take commissions. Often I make a few similar pieces in a series, but all pieces are individual designs hand crafted by me, and are therefore unique. To find out more about my work, techniques, and materials, visit my website where you can also purchase the pieces. Each piece comes with a Maker’s Certificate signed by me, as your record of provenance and authenticity.
