Appreciation: Graham Leishman Stewart- 1955-2020, Silversmith
Graham Stewart, who died in Edinburgh on Wednesday October 28, is widely regarded as one of the finest silversmiths of his generation.
"It is with great sadness that Contemporary British Silversmiths has learnt that Graham Stewart, one of the finest silversmiths of his generation has lost his battle with cancer. A man of quiet wit and great humour, an extraordinarily skilled artist, designer and maker, a generous soul who wore his many accolades lightly. Graham's silversmithing achievements are almost unrecordable in their breadth and alongside his devotion to and pride in his family his legacy is beyond evaluation."
