Barbara Christie

Barbara Christie has made a unique and creative contribution to contemporary British jewellery practice. She is a storyteller whose narrative is expressed in metal and stones. Helen Clifford calls her “…a magician… who else can turn a lump of white coral into a little bowl of cream, carved red coral strawberries sitting deliciously on top – small hard ruby beads become soft juicy fruit.” This exhibition shows recent and classic pieces drawn from three decades of inspirational work.
