Join jewellers Ella Fearon-Low and Jed Green for a guided tour of Box of Dreams, a unique jewellery and silversmith-led pop-up exhibition at the Goldsmiths’ Centre. During this special tour, the two curators will share the ideas behind the exhibition and explore how the theme of containment unfolds across the works on display.
Box of Dreams brings together a group of talented makers working across jewellery, silver, wood, textiles and glass. By combining precious and non-precious materials, the exhibition highlights the breadth and diversity of contemporary craft practice in the UK, and reflects on the many ways boxes and vessels hold our ideas, treasures and secrets.
At the heart of the exhibition is a specially curated display titled Box of Dreams, which explores both conceptual and literal interpretations of containment. Set within the Goldsmiths’ Centre’s contemporary event space, home to more than 120 makers and businesses working with precious metals, the exhibition offers visitors a chance to encounter the work of leading craftspeople and artists working today.
The exhibition features jewellery and silversmithing by Morvarid Alavifard, Ane Christensen, Ella Fearon-Low, Jed Green, Jo McAllister, Caitlin Murphy, Francicsa Onumah, Sarah Pulvertaft, Inca Starzinsky and Elsa Tierney. The curated Box of Dreams display also includes works by artists Richard McVetis, Zoe Arnold and Carola Solcia.

Who are the speakers?
Artist Jeweller, Ella Fearon-Low, plunders the visual larder of the past to create delicious contemporary treasures in mixed materials. Ella has a particular passion for making contemporary brooches and earrings that are playful, grown up and highly wearable. Her careful use of colour, attention to finished textures and strong graphic shapes give Ella’s creations their unique energy.
Influenced by decorative and domestic objects Ella’s original forms are layered from influences as varied as 17th Century glassware, Roman jewellery and Post-modern architectural detailing. Using these starting points, she develops and hand produces one-off sculptural works and small collections of wearable pieces in her SW London studio.
Ella’s art has been exhibited widely at Collect Art Fair, Goldsmiths’ Fair, Munich Jewellery Week and at The Scottish Gallery. Her work has featured in the printed press including in Vogue, The Sunday Times and The Financial Times.

Jed Green’s practice defies categorisation, existing at the dynamic intersection of jewellery, sculpture and object. Her distinctive handmade pieces, crafted from an eclectic palette that includes borosilicate glass, silver, gold, wood, stainless steel, paper, paint, and pearls, blur the boundaries between wearable adornment and sculptural form. They are intimate landscapes—three-dimensional collages that speak of memory, place and the beauty of impermanence. They tell stories of travel, discovery and the emotional treasures gathered along the way.
This series of work began in 2020 during a time of change both in living and working environments. Rediscovering work and old sketchbooks packed away for years ignited a process of reconnection and catalysed a new artistic direction, culminating in Wear / Display—a series of interactive, multifunctional pieces that invite reinterpretation.
Jed has exhibited at Goldsmiths’ Fair and is represented by Ruup & Form at Collect and London Art Fair.
