Among the UK’s most respected silversmiths, Rod Kelly trained at the Glasgow School of Art and later at the Royal College of Art.
He is known for his mastery of low-relief chasing and his exquisitely detailed narrative vessels, often reflecting aspects of British folklore, nature, and history.
Working from his studio in Shetland, Kelly creates monumental silverwork, including civic commissions, trophies, and commemorative pieces. His clients have included St. Paul’s Cathedral, The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, and the late Queen Elizabeth II.
