About the Maker
Glasgow based Silversmith, Hamish Dobbie, creates award winning functional and decorative objects using sterling silver and select pieces of hardwoods.
Hamish utilises advanced technologies such as 3D printing, Welding and CNC milling to create elegant and intricate work inspired by the rugged landscape of Western Scotland. Taking visual inspiration from the landscape of Scotland, which He finds very relaxing to be in despite its ‘aggressive’ appearance, Hamish contrasts textures and forms with smooth geometric surfaces.
By combing both traditional skills and contemporary techniques, he is able to transform the intricate linear designs, flowing curves and natural forms that inspire his work, into beautiful constructed and sculptural objects.
Hamish shows his passion for detail, precision and quality craftsmanship which is key to his practice in all of his designs. From a simple pair of study earrings to a complex multi part jewellery box - each one meticulously hand-finished and wonderfully unique.
