  • BIOGRAPHY

    Toch is a London-based artist metalsmith and lecturer at the Royal College of Art whose work is held in major private and public collections including the V&A Museum, The Crafts Council, The Goldsmiths’ Company, the Museum of London, the Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge, Birmingham Museum, National Museums Scotland, National Museum Wales, the Ulster Museum Belfast and The Jewish Museum New York. A finalist in the inaugural Loewe Craft Prize, she has received numerous awards including a Gold Award from The Goldsmiths’ Craft and Design Council and the European Prize for Applied Arts (2018). In 2021 she was commissioned by the V&A Gilbert Trust to create Place to Place, a work responding to the restitution of a historic gold ewer from the Gilbert Collection to Turkey, now permanently displayed in the V&A’s Gilbert Galleries.

    Working with the vessel as her primary form, Toch begins with a flat sheet of metal and fabricates delicate hollow objects using traditional tools and hammers. Through a labour-intensive process of hand texturing and patination she develops intricate, calligraphic surface patterns and internal compositional contrasts. The interiors of her pieces are treated in diverse ways to reveal the sensory qualities of the material: some are polished to a mirror-like finish that reflects their surroundings, while others contain gemstones that roll gently when handled, producing a subtle sound that captures the lyrical musicality of metal.

     

    Toch’s poetic Shrouded series further explores nature’s own mark-making. After shaping each vessel, she buries it in the earth, relinquishing control to mud, water, minerals and air. Over several months these subterranean forces create shifting, polychromatic patinas, a process and outcome that evoke human experiences of endurance, transformation and emergence.
