Fortunately this year I was able to enter the following four pieces, one of which \u2013 the Cascade Jug \u2013 was on loan from The Goldsmiths Company, who commissioned it for their Modern

id=\"caption-attachment-1063\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chasing fine lines on the Cascade Jug<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I was thrilled when the Cascade Jug\u00a0won a\u00a0silver award in both the silversmithing and chasing categories.\u00a0The technical problems I ran into when making this jug were at times heartbreaking (and also very expensive!), so it&#8217;s particularly encouraging to have this piece recognised! I made multiple models of the handle and after trying different methods of fabricating it, I found that the fitting and blending in of the handle to the rest of the jug was quite a challenge. With thoughtful advice and practical support from other experienced silversmiths such as Rod Kelly and James Butler, I did however learn lots of new skills and was also able to improve existing ones. This helped to transform the final piece into an accurate and functional realisation of my original design concept.<\/p>\n<p>In the silversmithing section, entries &#8220;<em>are judged primarily on excellence of technical ability and craft skills, but creative interpretation and presentation are also taken into consideration.<\/em>&#8221; &#8211;\u00a0 The Goldsmiths Craft and Design Council.<\/p>\n<p>The chasing on the Cascade Jug was mainly achieved using large signature tools which I make myself. The bold lines\u00a0fade into thin sharp lines with the use of punches in varying widths. Chasing on the curved profile of the jug involved adjusting the angle of the punch and hammer across almost every centimetre of the design, especially as the flowing lines spiralled around the curves rather than following the easy option of travelling straight up and down or across the curves. I&#8217;m grateful that this chasing technique has been recognised via a silver award in the Chasers&#8217; Senior Section.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1057\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1057\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Radiance-Tray_rs.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1057 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Radiance-Tray_rs-300x183.jpg\" alt=\"M_Hanid_Radiance_Tray\" width=\"300\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Radiance-Tray_rs-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Radiance-Tray_rs-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Radiance-Tray_rs-1024x623.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Radiance-Tray_rs-680x414.jpg 680w, https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Radiance-Tray_rs-540x329.jpg 540w, https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Radiance-Tray_rs.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Radiance Tray \u2013 Britannia silver, hand chased and formed, 20x20x4cm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Radiance tray, which also won an award, is actually a test piece for a larger centrepiece which I&#8217;m making for The Goldsmiths Company&#8217;s Modern Collection. In order to illustrate the type of chasing which would envelop the whole dish, I decided to create a sample to enable the Modern Collection Committee to view the finished effect alongside the designs. As the chasing and repouss\u00e9 makes up the form of the piece, no additional raising or forming was needed, leaving the artistic theme to lead the structure of the design. Using deep chased lines combined with finer details, Radiance won a silver award in the Chasers Senior category\u00a0and a silver award in the 3D pieces Design category. You can see the details of the chasing on the front and reverse in the gallery below.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-1052 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/radiance-reverse-sq.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[gallery-0]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/radiance-reverse-sq-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/radiance-reverse-sq-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/radiance-reverse-sq-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/radiance-reverse-sq-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/radiance-reverse-sq-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/radiance-reverse-sq-680x680.jpg 680w, https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/radiance-reverse-sq-540x540.jpg 540w, https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/radiance-reverse-sq.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-1080'>\n\t\t\t\tRadiance &#8211; Reverse\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_0616.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[gallery-0]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_0616-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-1077\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-1077'>\n\t\t\t\tRadiance &#8211; Front\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_0624.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[gallery-0]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_0624-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-1078\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-1078'>\n\t\t\t\tRadiance &#8211; Detail\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Radiance-front.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[gallery-0]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Radiance-front-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-1079\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-1079'>\n\t\t\t\tRadiance &#8211; Detail\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_1055\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1055\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Birch-Leaf-Beaker-crop-e1488384533489.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox-3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1055 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamhanid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Birch-Leaf-Beaker-crop-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"M_Hanid_Birch_Leaf_Beaker\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1055\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Birch Leaf Beaker, fine silver, 11x7x7cm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"line-height: 24px;\">I entered another piece into the competition, the Birch Leaf Beaker, which received a bronze award for chasing.
