Katie Bourchier approaches jewellery with playful irreverence. Made using ancient lost-wax casting, her work both follows and exceeds traditional silversmithing rules. She views her process as ritualistic.
Through her signature inverted-face iconography—a nod to portraiture, cameos, puppetry, and ancient protection symbols—she invites wearers to develop their own personal meanings. Join us at the IMA Gallery Shop for the launch of Bourchier’s new collection.
Snack is a pop-up concept store within the IMA Gallery Shop, platforming functional, affordable products by local artists. Shop a taste of the local art scene and meet the makers.
