Join us tomorrow at 2pm to hear Gallery 2 exhibitor Elfrun Lach present a free talk on the history and ongoing symbolic function of red coral, one of the oldest traditionally used materials in gold and silver-smithing.
Despite the rarity of coral, its application within jewellery practice has persisted over time due to a belief in its talismanic qualities. This artist talk coincides with Elfrun's exhibition Corollary, which aims to raise questions about ethical supply and usage.
Presented as part of the 2011 Sustainable Living Festival.
