Comments on: At Margolis Silver https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/03/14/at-margolis-silver-i/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 14 Mar 2023 16:32:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Robin https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/03/14/at-margolis-silver-i/#comment-1504054 Tue, 14 Mar 2023 16:32:08 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=195085#comment-1504054 So inspiring to see such superb craftsmanship sustained over generations. Must be very satisfying to hold such lustrous objects in your hands and know that you produced them.
And that arsenic bath — beautiful and terrifying! But what gorgeous results!

make it happen. A specialized world, wonderfully captured.

I have a fantasy that I could hire Sarah Ainslie to come over here and photograph me in my studio. She always has the ability to depict people hip-deep in their profession, fully engaged, so “natural” in their work environment, and excelling at their chosen artform. Think of the credibility I
would gain!? (smile)

Thank you for this wonderful post and photos.

Long may they thrive.

Particularly pleased to read that perhaps the next generation of artisans such as Chloe Robertsons has joined to learn and carry on!

Thank you for a very interesting glimpse into their world.
