About MeThis colourful brooch is an archetypal example of 1970s design by one of Scotland's leading designer-jewellers, Norman Grant.Grant studied at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen, initially in graphic design before moving into silversmithing. Grant felt that he was able to apply is graphics skills in 3 dimensional works to create forms inspired by organic shapes and structures.
