This is how 2020 is looking so far exhibition wise.. I’m showing at Schmuck in Munich this year with a group of Irish jewellers and smiths, I’m showing with @steinbeisserorg In CODA in the Netherlands in a group show. I have a 2 person show with Abridged in August in the Verbal Arts Centre In Derry then onto Galway as part of the Tulca festival. What Colour is Metal is a group show of metalsmiths at the National Gallery of Craft and Design at Kilkenny and I’m also really pleased to be sending @pragmata_gallery some pieces to show in Japan. So looking pretty busy .. The @newcraftsmangallery in St.Ives continues to support by work and holds a collection of my objects and jewellery. More details and new work s the year progresses .. #2020 #exhibitions #upcoming #comingsoon #newshows #contemporaryart #contemporarycraft #contemporaryirishart #contemporarymetalwork #lists #blackboard #artistsstudio #stuartcairns #artist #maker #smith https://www.instagram.com/p/B7YfRwEAiec/?igshid=nigb3fazx47w
