A few scribbles in the low winter sun casting long shadows signing off the workshop for 2019. Last orders are out so I’m taking a break from the workshop for a wee while. Having a much needed rest to recover from what seemed like a hectic year. I’ll also be drawing up plans for everything that’s coming up in 2020- loads I’m looking forward to already. But more about that later. Enjoy your holidays! #scribbles #scrawls #shadows #toolsdown #endofyear #onthebench #visuallanguage #visuallife #takeabreak #sculpture #sculptural #contemporaryart #contemporarycraft #contemporaryjewellery #silversmith #metalsmith #stuartcairns #artist #maker #smith #irishart #irishartist #workshop #studio #winterlight #longshadows https://www.instagram.com/p/B6bYR4AHTqi/?igshid=wg65v6thm9ep

This is how 2020 is looking so far exhibition wise.. I’m showing at Schmuck in Munich this year with a group of Irish jewellers and smiths, I’m showing with @steinbeisserorg In CODA in the Netherlands in a group show. I have a 2 person show with Abridged in August in the Verbal Arts Centre In Derry then onto Galway as part of the Tulca festival. What Colour is Metal is a group show of metalsmiths at the National Gallery of Craft and Design at Kilkenny and I’m also really pleased to be sending @pragmata_gallery some pieces to show in Japan. So looking pretty busy .. The @newcraftsmangallery in St.Ives continues to support by work and holds a collection of my objects and jewellery. More details and new work s the year progresses .. #2020 #exhibitions #upcoming #comingsoon #newshows #contemporaryart #contemporarycraft #contemporaryirishart #contemporarymetalwork #lists #blackboard #artistsstudio #stuartcairns #artist #maker #smith https://www.instagram.com/p/B7YfRwEAiec/?igshid=nigb3fazx47w

New Scribble Looper pin in silver. I’ll be bringing this and my other jewellery as well as my @upwardsandover_ illustrations to @vaultartistsni Christmas Art Market this Sunday from 12 at Tower Street, Belfast. If you can’t make it I’ll also be updating the shop on the 6th of December with jewellery and original paintings and possibly an open studio the following week. Sorry for the big update! I’m a bit behind due to ill health but hopefully I’ll get it all together and maybe see you at the market! #scribble #looper #pin #brooch #badge #brooches #contemporaryjewellery #sculpturaljewellery #smallsculptures #tinysculptures #wearablesculpture #wearableart #artjewellery #artistsjewellery #unique #uniquejewellery #jewelleryblog #jewellerymaker #silversmith #stuartcairns #irishmaker #irishartist #supportindependentartists #wearabledrawings #originalart #broochaddict #broochhandmade #jewelleryart #jewelleryaddict #silverjewellery https://www.instagram.com/p/B5VCyWYAHy3/?igshid=n9apypulqxcm
