Oliver Smith is a skilled silversmith, based in Sydney. Following his years of study at the Australian National University School of Art he pursued his interest in putting his one-off items of silver cutlery into production in stainless steel.
In 2003 and 2005 Smith received grants to help him develop his Generation series of tableware, working with industries in Sydney. Smith values the two-way benefits of collaboration with industry, and applies what he learns to his next designs.
Other collaborations include the Bell project for the Australiana Fund, and the Banquet project. He looks for opportunities where he can unite his skills with the strengths of another process, material or individual.
Smith’s work was included in the Powerhouse Museum exhibition 'Smart works: design and the handmade’ (2007).
