Autorenporträt
Vicki Ambery-Smith is greatly acclaimed for her architectural jewellery and silverware. She specialises in unique commemorative pieces that capture a client's affection for a building of special significance. Her work masters the art of simplification - necessary for reasons of scale, wearability and perception. Vicki studied jewellery at the famous Hornsey College of Art before being awarded a Crafts Council grant to establish her own workshop in 1977. She has exhibited widely ever since and her work has been selected for many public and private collections around the world.
