Alexandra Raphael

Alexandra Raphael is a master of her craft. She loves the wonderful effects of translucent glass colours on silver. She says it’s like "watercolours in glass” as her graduating enamel colours gently flow across the reflective silver surface below. For students used to working on copper, enamelling on silver is going to be a wonderful experience.

Alexandra’s favourite pieces are made for individual commissions telling a personal story. She creates images to depict a celebration or experiences rather than words in her gold and silver wire.

Her plique-a-jour bowls are breathtaking. Backless enamels are miniature stained-glass windows with delicate effect and her bowls are no exception. Her latest “Lace” bowl won 3 gold awards including for overall senior. A similar bowl was purchased by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. A true accolade of her craftsmanship in enamel.
