Book Living Treasures: Masters of Australian Craft \ Robert Baines: Metal

Published to accompany Robert Baines: Metal, the sixth of ADC’s Living Treasures: Masters of Australian Craft series, this magnificent monograph pays tribute to one of Australia’s most prominent and influential jewellers and goldsmiths.

Internationally respected as a goldsmith who creates jewellery and large, complex wire works; Baines often combines precious metals gold and silver with plastic and powder coated elements, frequently referencing archaeology and the abstract.

Generously illustrated, the book features a comprehensive account of Baines’ work and career by accomplished authors and academics Dr Sophia Errey, Dr Judith O’Callaghan and Dr Rudiger Joppien.
