The lifetime achievement thus far of silversmith Grant Macdonald has been documented by way of a summer blockbuster exhibition at the traditional home of Gold and Silversmiths – Goldsmiths’ Hall.
The exhibition opened with a private view for an array of clients and industry colleagues at the Hall in April.
This exhibition of work celebrates five decades of the finest craftsmanship and explores the extraordinary creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of this London silversmith.
The exhibition tells the story of Grant Macdonald's life and work by displaying some of the many remarkable pieces that have been made over the years on show. There are over fifty pieces of livery regalia and many items that reflect the company’s relationship with the Middle East. The palatial setting of Goldsmiths' Hall is an impressive backdrop for this creative precious metal show.
The exhibition, which is entitles ‘Grant Macdonald International Silversmith’ is now open 6 days a week until it closes on the 26th of July. It is now open from Monday to Saturday 10am to 4pm at Goldsmiths’ Hall. Admission is free.
To accompany the exhibition the Goldsmiths’ Company and Grant Macdonald have produced an accompanying exhibition book, It documents the 50 years since Grant started his career as a silversmith as well as a detailed history of the company. With never-before seen images and pieces including many featured in the exhibition, this hardback book explores the extraordinary creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of Grant Macdonald. It can be purchased from the maker here.
At a special event, on Saturday the 21st of July Grant Macdonald will be in attendance at the Hall for a ‘Friends and Family day’ between 12 and 4pm to meet and talk with those interested in the work.
