Phoebe Porter
Jewellery
Phoebe Porter is an Australia contemporary jeweller whose work combines geometric abstraction, bold colour and the careful balancing of contrasting elements, drawing inspiration from the Bauhaus and Russian Constructivism. Trained in gold and silversmithing, Phoebe skillfully combines industrial materials and processes with precious elements using refined hand-making skills and an innovative design language gained over twenty-five years of practice.
After almost a decade honing her craft in Melbourne, Phoebe moved back to her hometown of Canberra and now works from a beautiful heritage studio at Gorman Arts Centre. Here she produces her distinctive jewellery collections using traditional and innovative materials of the highest quality.
Phoebe's work is highly collectible and is held in public collections including the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of South Australia and the Powerhouse Museum. As well as regular exhibitions across Australia, Phoebe has been invited to exhibit in London, Japan, Germany and Washington. Her awards include a Victorian Premier's Design Mark and being named DESIGN Canberra Festival Designer-in-Residence, as well as grants from the Australia Council , Arts Victoria and Arts ACT.
