Making metal sing
- • In 2021, Adi received an important commission from The Gilbert Collection
- • Her work appears in many museum collections, including the V&A
- • A passionate teacher, she enjoys passing on her knowledge
Born in Jerusalem, Adi Toch fell in love with metal at the age of 14 when she spent a summer working as an apprentice to a jeweller. She pursued metalwork at the Bezalel Academy of Arts, but soon found jewellery’s dependency on the body rather limiting. She started to work on larger metal objects instead, with particular interest in vessels. She came to London in 2007 to study for an MA at The Cass and decided to make the city her home, drawn to its history, multiculturalism and versatility. Exploring the communicative abilities of metal, her work draws inspiration both from history but also investigates contemporary concerns.

Talk to Me
Vessels on stilts playfully reference museum displays of ancient amphorae on tripod stands. Part of an installation, the vessels react to human voice with a gentle motion.

Plump wall objects
This wall installation employs silver’s innate reflective qualities to interact with the viewer. The surface of the objects gradually changes from matt to satin to highly polished, inviting the viewer to move around them and explore how they softly reflect the surroundings.

Spouted vessels
Vessels and containers surround us in our daily lives and shape our perception of the division between inside and out. Pouring vessels have the fascinating duality of being able to both absorb and give.
