Sian Mclachlan: Shoorah Shoorah
Jul 19, 2017 - Sep 17, 2017
Shoorah Shoorah is the alias for London based
jewellery designer Sian Mclachlan.With an unusual passion for knots, first instigated by the
popularity of friendship bracelets in the nineties and then reignited by an
aunty, who gave her a vintage macrame book, she got knotting and turned
passion into a career.Inspired by techniques from chandlery and Chinese knotting, she
turns functional knots from traditional practices into pieces that are tactile
and beautiful. Her collections celebrate the sculptural quality of simple rope
when it is knotted into various forms.Through repetition and contrasting colour, functional knots become
highly decorative and start to replicate the forms of traditional jewellery.
Unapologetically bold and beautifully finished, each design is stunning in its
simplicity.
