Reflections in Silver at Temple Newsam House, Leeds Tuesday 11 August 5pm-7pm
You are invited to the launch of Reflections in Silver.
Click here to RSVP by 4th August.
Temple Newsam is proud to unveil two new commissions of contemporary silver by leading silversmiths Miriam Hanid and Yusuke Yamamoto.
Drawing inspiration from Temple Newsam’s exceptional silver holdings – one of the most significant collections in the country – as well as the textures, patterns and stories found across the house, gardens and wider landscape, both artists have crafted pieces that bridge centuries of creativity. Their new works echo the craftsmanship and artistry of the past while bringing a striking contemporary voice into the collection.
Using the unique opportunity that commissioning offers, a new film by Nick Singleton captures the entire journey of each artwork – from first sketches and early experiments to the final shaping and polishing.
The film will be shown alongside the finished commissions, accompanied by displays of drawings, models and behind the scenes photography that reveal the artists at work in their studios.
The Silver Society was delighted to support the project, and the exhibition runs until 23 October 2026.
