Dr Grace

Dr Grace lives in Birmingham. She studied BA(Hons) Degree, Jewellery & Silversmithing, School of Jewellery, Birmingham City University 2011

Dr Graces Miracle Cure for Climate Change was inspired by the delights of Victorian medicines and healing contraptions. Annoyed with the husband? Try Dr Sanden’s Electric Belt for Weak Men. Hayfever getting you down? No fear, the intriguing Carbolic Smoke Ball is here. Looking for an all-round pick-me-up? Get some of Mrs Winslows Soothing Syrup. Emboldened by the bold claims and wild exaggerations of these products, I created Dr Grace. In the world of Dr Grace there is nothing that jewellery cannot cure. Why stop at providing antidotes to everyday niggles like husbands and hayfever when there are larger issues plaguing our society. From this idea the Miracle Cure for Climate Change was born. Melting polar ice caps? Freeze some more! Rising sea levels? Jewellery that uses it up! So what happens next? The public decides! My current project, Dr Grace Prescriptions, invites everyone and anyone to suggest what problems they would like cured, either on my blog (www.doctorgrace.wordpress.com) or twitter (dr_grace_page) or by email. At least once a month I am picking a suggestion at random and creating a new piece of jewellery, a Dr Grace Prescription, to cure it. Unfortunately I have no images to include at present.
