We'll be adding some fantastic new pieces to CJ's page at the end of November so be sure to check back soon.
Cornelius was born in the Netherlands in 1945 and moved to Canada at the age of six. In 1968 he gained a degree in Philosophy at the University of Ontario.
He moved to Cornwall and set up his own workshop in 1973 where he began to create wonderful boxes using different metals - silver, gold, nickel, copper, bronze etc are used for colour where appropriate. Pieces are cut, soldered, textured, assembled and polished.
Each box is a unique study of nature and/or wildlife. His work is greatly influenced by the Japanese metal tradition.
