dirty, or an apron Closed in shoes Some inspiration/ideas about what
you would like to create About the facilitator: Jess Blak is an
Australian contemporary silversmith with an appreciation for
traditional craftsmanship and ethical practices. Her organic approach
to creating balances repetition and authenticity. Her collections are
inspired by the juxtaposition of nature and the built environment.
Jess style of making emulates textures found in ruins and shipwrecks,
inspired by such artefacts and their ability to recall stories lost
and the mystery of times past. The treatment of the silver suggests
time has manipulated the surface leaving it organic and completely
unpredictable, beautifying the unexpected nature of discovery. Find
