Miriam Handid, Artist Silversmith. Silver smith, design, chasing, flat chasing, repoussé and hand engraving.

Miriam will be taking part in an exciting project next year initiated by the Goldsmiths Company and The National Trust. Ickworth House in Horringer, near Bury St.Edmunds, Suffolk, will be exhibiting a display of her important commissions and recent work during the months of April - October 2012. The 'Studio Silver Today' scheme will enable members of the public to engage in the contemporary field of silversmithing through weekly demonstrations and one off workshops led by Miriam at Ickworth. She invites you to come and view her work and see how she crafts her handmade silver pieces. As part of the project, she has been commissioned to produce a silver beaker inspired by Ickworth House, which will be made available for a member of the public to win through a free prize draw!
