About Kathryn Hinton
Kathryn Hinton is a silversmith and jeweller based near Edinburgh. Using both traditional hand skills and digital technology she creates work that explores emerging surfaces and faceted forms. Alongside digital processes, Kathryn uses hand engraving to create geometric patterns. These linear patterns reflect the light and give the illusion of 3D surfaces.
Maker Enquiry Form
The jewellery and silverware is designed using computer-aided design (CAD) to explore surface and pattern in a digital environment. It is realised through the use of 3D printing and lost wax casting in silver and gold. Traditional hand skills, including stone setting, are used as a way of introducing colour and as another element of design to the pieces. The faceted cuts of the gemstones compliment the geometric surface of the jewellery.
The silversmithing pieces are made through a combination of hand processes with computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling to create moulds for press forming silver.
