Hammer & Hand is a metal & jewellery collective based in Hobart, Tasmania and Bangalow, New South Wales.

While in Hobart,Tasmania, Rosie and I visited Despard Gallery on Castray Esplanade…. Steven Joyce, the owner and Director,  invited us to have a look at the collection upstairs….while we were snoofin’ about up there enjoying his fantastic collection of art … old and new..I came across this work by Ceramic artist Sally McGillvery, which she exhibited in Bett Gallery when it was still upstairs in Salamanca place .. 18 or so years ago … ? .. dunno..but I did the table for her…Steven had thought the iron work was by somebody  else …Had bought it at Gowan’s auction house for a couple of hundred or so  and sold it for a couple of thou….the week before …!
