Gordon W Robertson
Gordon W Robertson is a Scottish artist and metal-smith based in London, where he works in pewter, brass, copper, steel, zinc, silver, textiles and print. Gordon fuses traditional artisan techniques with his own unique methodology, specialising in hand-etched surface.
His work is highly tactile and textural, providing a sublime accent to both tradtional and contemporary luxury interiors. Forging organic, intricate patterns inspired by nature and abstract geometry, Gordon's designs are timeless and eminently collectable.
As both master craftsman and designer, Gordon creates imaginative and exquisite tableware, furniture and paneling, working closely with the client to realise their specific aspirations.
His work is in the collection of The Worshipful Company of Pewterers, with whom he is a freeman, The Neish Pewter Collection in The Smith Museum, Stirling, Scotland and many private collections. He was awarded a QEST (Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust) Scholarship in 2013 and formed a partnership with AR Wentworth Pewter, Sheffield. QEST selected him to exhibit in the Summer House, Buckingham Palace during the Queen's 50th Coronation celebrations. He is a member of the ABPC (The Association of British Pewter Craftsmen)
