David Lilly Biography – David Lilly Wiki
David Lilly is a jeweller and stained-glass window maker from Chichester. His daring sense of style comes from his personality and unique perspective as a colourblind person. For David, making jewellery is a form of personal expression and his pieces have been described as bold and in your face. David is often known to sing out loud at his bench and also founded a singing group he regularly sings in.
On what first interested him in making jewellery, David told the BBC: “In 2017 I went on a medicine walk – where you go out walking whilst contemplating a question – and the idea is the answer that comes to you on the walk. My question was, what should my work be? And the answer that came back was monolithic. I started working on big copper vessels but became disconnected with the work, so I took the scrap pieces of metal using the same technique and did it in miniature. Suddenly I discovered I was making jewellery. It was only when I started creating my first collection in silver rather than copper that it suddenly became clear what monolithic was: it wasn’t the size, it was the shape.”
David Lilly All That Glitters
David Lilly was a jeweller on the second series of All That Glitters. The other All That Glitters contestants who competed for the UK’s next up-and-coming jewellery star are Bonnie Hay, Emma White, Jack Mitchell, Nyanda ‘Rudi’ Yekwai, Piers Carpenter, Steve Ali and Tianne-Louise Simmons.
On what he learnt from the show, he said: “I learnt that I could do lots of different things in jewellery making that I had never done before, the vast majority are things that I would never have thought of making. The most interesting part is that we were given a restricted amount of materials and we had to work with boundaries, like a limited amount of time. I think it’s always interesting to have boundaries to work in because invariably the piece that you make is better. That was a very different way of working, which was really interesting in itself.”
