Ian Davidson is a Glasgow-based silversmith whose elegant forms and sensitive surface treatments reflect a commitment to material honesty and refined simplicity.
Trained at the Glasgow School of Art, Davidson’s aesthetic is rooted in the Scottish tradition of restrained modernism, combining functional clarity with subtle sculptural gesture.
His practice spans both jewellery and hollowware and he is particularly known for his use of patinated and oxidised surfaces, creating rich tonal variations across clean, minimal forms. Influenced by both Japanese design principles and Nordic silversmithing, Davidson’s work balances lightness with a strong formal presence.
