Led by curators Ella Fearon-Low and Jed Green, this guided tour introduces Box of Dreams, a jewellery and silversmith-led pop-up exhibition that explores the concept of containment through objects and materials.
The tour invites you to consider how the idea of the “box” functions within the works on display – both as a practical form and as a metaphor for holding memory, value, and narrative.
Featuring makers working across jewellery, metal, wood, textiles, and glass, the exhibition showcases a diverse range of contemporary craft practices. Throughout the tour, you’ll gain insight into the curatorial approach and the connections between the selected works.
Date: 15 May 2026 at 11am – 12pm (UK time)
Deadline: Tickets can be purchased until the event begins
Price: £4
Location: The Goldsmiths’ Centre, 42 Britton Street, London EC1M 5AD
Who are the speakers?
Artist Jeweller, Ella Fearon-Low, plunders the visual larder of the past to create delicious contemporary treasures in mixed materials. Ella has a particular passion for making contemporary brooches and earrings that are playful, grown up and highly wearable. Her careful use of colour, attention to finished textures and strong graphic shapes give Ella’s creations their unique energy.
Jed Green’s practice defies categorisation, existing at the dynamic intersection of jewellery, sculpture and object. Her distinctive handmade pieces, crafted from an eclectic palette that includes borosilicate glass, silver, gold, wood, stainless steel, paper, paint, and pearls, blur the boundaries between wearable adornment and sculptural form. They are intimate landscapes—three-dimensional collages that speak of memory, place and the beauty of impermanence. They tell stories of travel, discovery and the emotional treasures gathered along the way.
