Contemporary metalworking is a dynamic field and today’s metalsmiths continue a long tradition of experimentation in a range of metals to create exciting and innovative work. This lecture will discuss a new display of contemporary metalwork and will introduce some objects that have recently been acquired by the museum including an object recently commissioned by the V&A and the P&O Makower Charitable Trust.
