The ‘Eshaness’ vessel is made by hammer forming the initial shape from flat sheet silver using hammering techniques (raising and planishing) that have been in use for millennia. Once the vessel shape is complete it is filled with a pitch substance and the pattern is applied to the surface using deep relief chasing and various texturing hammers.

.

‘Eshaness’ is a peninsula on the west coast of Northmavine, on the island of Mainland, Shetland, Scotland. This piece was made whilst on residency with well known silversmith Rod Kelly, in Shetland, and was a transitional point in Abigail’s designs, the first piece in the Elemental Landscape Collection. The design of the vessel represents the windswept, elemental landscape: the windswept twisted heather of the exposed island coastline. The vessel is a stunning centre piece for a table, side board or a well lit alcove.
