Charlotte Tollyfield

Charlotte is a Sheffield based silversmith, and has produced commission pieces for The Worshipful Company of Barber Surgeons, The Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire, Sheffield Assay Office & Sheffield Museums Trust, and produce the 12th edition of the William Hill St. Leger Stakes Trophy for Doncaster Racecourse in 2018.

Her work includes silver and copperwork, demonstrating a fascination with geometric form and symmetry throughout her creative career. Drawn by metal’s ability to be manipulated to create soft curves and acute angles; Charlotte’s focus lies with the composition and structure of shape and form, whilst preserving a strong sense of function and purpose. Employing a wide range of techniques in the creation of her work, Charlotte prefers to adapt to the design instead of designing around a specific technique.

Charlotte’s own Christmas decorations play with the perfect symmetry of snowflakes whilst depicting the Twelve Days of Christmas, putting a unique twist on this classic fairy tale. Each decoration depicts one of the twelve gifts, becoming a little work of art in its own right, but only when the whole set is brought together is the full story told.
