Re-Framed jewellery exhibition

by Sharon McSwiney February 23, 2026

(RE)FRAMED jewellery is art exhibition held at the Grow Box Cafe, Krowji, Cornwall this February. Curated by the ACJ Cornwall. I created a large 'Limpet adornment' neck-piece incorporating a collection of found Cornish limpet shells combined with a large metal 'limpet' form. The frame also included shells & created an interesting backdrop for the piece.

Memory tree commissions

by Sharon McSwiney March 12, 2024

Over the past few years we have installed 2 Memory Trees for Cornwall Hospice Care at Mount Edgcumbe in St Austell & St Julia's in Hayle. As I am currently working on another metalwork commission I thought I would share details of how these pieces developed & how you can order your own leaf from CHC.
