Trinket Tinker


Come and see trinkets, amulets and talismans from afar! Meet the Trinket Tinker, the maker himself who crafted this special wearable charms, and can give you exactly what you need... a magical piece to attract health, wisdom, security, love, fortitude, friendship, longevity, protection, opportunity, fortune or vengence!

Paul Wye is the artist behind these lovely handcrafted unique artworks, all with hand-dyed and screenprinted ribbons, and amulets sown together. Find him at the British Museum on Friday 11th November from 6pm to 9pm, as part of the Grayson Perry Late event. I shall be assisting him in his endeavor, dressed and with his barrow, we shall be giving out this amazing gifts!

Paul Wye is an artist-maker whose practice revolves around the notion of the artefact, its place within a collection and the context created by the assembly of these groups of objects. Check Paul's website for more of his work, including printmaking and sculpture and contact him for commissioned work.
