Edward Cook

His silversmith style celebrates the hammer marks that demonstrate their hand-crafted
origins. It is something that is lacking in massproduced
silverware.

Wayland’s Forge is a silversmith and jewellery workshop that makes quirky pieces. “Everything is slightly eclectic”, explains maker Edward Cook.

He works in silver because the metal has great malleability. “You can shape and move it”, he continues. “As a metal it is very strong but there is also a softness to it. When you’re working with it, it goes from white to black - only when it is finely polished do you really see the design”.

In jewellery Cook uses iconic images that have disappeared from everyday life; bread tags that have been replaced by tape and ring pulls from soft drinks cans.
