Contemporary Jewellery by Long Johns Silver
Inspired by Rangiora holding the hottest temperature recorded in Aotearoa New Zealand Feb 7, 1973; catch this two hour sizzle at Fold Gallery, the hottest collaborative gallery space in town.
This hot moment plays tribute to the endless Summer beach swimming holidays of our youth and imaginings.
Come join us at Fold Studio & Gallery to meet the artist, enjoy refreshments and view the work up close. Jewellery pieces will be for sale during this pop up event.
About the Artist
Based in Waimakariri, Long Johns Silver is by Louise Johns. She works across photography, installation, sound and jewellery. Central to her practice is the interplay of concepts of value and adornment.
NOTE: Our exhibitions calendar for 2026 is now open for proposals. See more details below…
