In Search of The Blindingly Obvious by Alan Craxford

In Search of The Blindingly Obvious by Alan Craxford

In this, Alan Craxford’s first book, he shares a unique insight into his artistic life. With a career spanning over 50 years, he is an artist, designer, jeweller, silversmith, engraver, teacher, thinker and an inspiration to those who aspire to create. Acknowledged for his precision and mastery of precious metals and gemstones, his aim has always been to work with the inner creative worlds to manifest beautiful artefacts that speak to those who care to understand.

Through the two parts of this book, Alan shares stories that illustrate the journey of his work and inspiration. Each piece - however modest or grand - comes from a place of meaning and it is clear that making beautiful, individual objects has been his spiritual practice and life’s endeavour.
