"Studio Silver Today" – An exhibition of silver by silversmith Theresa Nguyen At Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire. Website here

Saturday March 5 to Saturday October 29, 2011

In addition to the exhibition of her work Theresa has agreed to be “silversmith in residence” at Kedleston. On specified Saturdays throughout the duration of the show she will be present to talk to visitors about her work and demonstrate her skills at a workbench set up within the body of the exhibition.

The Goldsmiths’ Company, which has sponsored the event, has also commissioned Theresa to make a contemporary tumbler, which will be the prize for a competition draw open to all visitors attending the exhibition.
