Orkneyinga Silversmiths
Kevin and Liz Allen's workshop is on a hill in Birsay, overlooking the sea, Isbister Loch and two RSPB bird reserves. All Orkneyinga pieces are handmade by Kevin, who undertook a traditional Silversmith's apprenticeship from the age of 16.
As well as the work he produces with Liz, who graduated in 3D design after studying Silversmithing and Jewellery, Kevin also assists in the making of large pieces for other designers.
One of these was the table centre piece for the Scottish First Minister's residence, by Malcolm Appleby. He was chosen to represent Scotland at the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition in Kyoto.
You can see the location where the designs are made, and speak to the designer or the maker.
