Alex O'Connor

Starting her career in Fine Art and Sculpture, Alex O'Connor discovered the art of Silver. Accordingly, her silverware merges an inherent understanding of form, composition, balance and surface with the specific disciplines of contemporary craft.

Her recent collections are created through a process that begins with walking in the Cornish landscape and moves into drawing and model making. The resulting pieces bring together ideas of both our external and internal landscape.

Alex exhibits regularly both in the UK and internationally and has work in private collections. She also undertakes both public and private commissions.

Alex enjoys passing on her knowledge and skills to students on the BA Silversmithing and Jewellery course at Truro College/University of Plymouth.
