Phil Barnes –
A craftsman's Journey
An inspirational new book
by Linda Barnes & Gordon Hamme
Exquisitely made objet and jewellery have captivated people throughout the centuries but the working world behind the creation of these beautiful pieces is for most of us a mystery. This book is a record of Phil Barnes’ working life and career, a master in the art of engraving and enamelling, which is richly illustrated with many of his finest pieces. It gives a unique insight into his own life as an apprentice and master and the jewellery trade from the 1920s when his father first began his own apprenticeship.
