Junko Mori (b.1974) is a Japanese metalworker and graduate of Camberwell College of Arts in London, who creates hand-forged works which are both organic and minimalist. The Sheffield Assay Office was the sponsor enabling her to begin silver work in the UK, and as a result, the first silver piece she ever made is in their collection. Junko made her first appearance at Chatsworth in 2007 as part of a metalwork festival, Galvanize Sheffield, when she was selected by the Sheffield Assay Office to create a steel chandelier in the Great Dining Room. Her work is held in many collections including the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh; British Museum, London; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Honolulu Museum of Art; and the Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide, among others. She is based in North Wales.
