——————————
The absolute perfection and precision I see in Wayne Meeten's work clearly derive from the years he spent studying jewellery making techniques in Japan and from the tools he has fabricated to achieve the skills and aesthetics he acquired there.
To me Wayne's work embodies a perfect union of the rich heritage of centuries of outstanding British craftsmanship and design in silver with his very distinctive and expressive surface textures and patterns.
