Metalwork for exhibitions, commissions, residencies and the home

 

Jacky Oliver creates sculptural pieces that combine the heaviness of blacksmithing with the refinement and delicacy of jewellery work, giving her objects an unexpected lightness. Jacky’s work is defined by two strands: one side of her practice is about conducting in-depth research to create work that tells a story, to help draw people in and spark conversations around the piece. The other strand is about creating work that is purely about exploring line, compositions, space and creating shadows. “The one thing common to all my work is my attention to detail in the quality of finish. Each joint and line is created with care, thought and refinement.” Jacky works from her London studio at Cockpit Bloomsbury. Jacky is also a committed teacher of her craft, and believes in the power of creativity to enrich lives.
