Frances Stachl’s jewellery demonstrates not only her enjoyment of working with metal, but also her knowledge of jewellery techniques, with great attention to detail. Her necklaces are well considered and beautifully executed, being things of beauty and eminent wearability.
‘I like the fact that my own jewellery practice is not too different from what a jeweller’s was hundreds of years ago. The tools are essentially the same, as is the process. The tools suggest certain end results and each jeweller follows these to their own personal conclusion. There is a long history to reference, maybe no idea is ever really brand new, but reinterpretations of an idea are constantly visible in New Zealand’s jewellery practice. I like the craft aspect of jewellery, things need to be made well and need to be wearable’.
Art Jewelry Forum interviewed Frances Stachl on her work in “Bead” and her jewellery practice. Read the interview by Vicki Mason here: https://artjewelryforum.org/frances-stachl-bead
