Unfortunately I will no longer be exhibiting at the Festival of Crafts on October 16th&17th. I am however very much looking forward to selling as part of my new online venture with madebyhandonline, as well as showing at Made by Hand in December . Hope to see some of you there!

Just a quick note to say what a lovely day I had at the Woodbridge Vintage & Contemporary Market on September 25th. As always, there was a great atmosphere (even when the rain was pouring down in the afternoon!) I really enjoyed exhibiting some new and unique pieces within the collection too.

Thanks for all the lovely compliments about my work, and of course to those who bought pieces. 

Here's a little picture of me at my stall on the day (cheerful but a bit chilly!)

From this October I'll be starting to run a series of jewellery making workshops from Stew gallery and studios, where I'm based in Norwich. The programme will be offering a variety of exciting workshops in screen printing, jewellery making, bookbinding and life drawing, and aims to increase creative confidence whilst teaching practical skills.  All workshops will be held in the newly designated Stew workshop space and/or the Stew print rooms.

Here's some more information about the jewellery workshop I will be offering, so please get in touch if you would like to take part!

Made by Hand 

Tredegar House, Newport, Wales

Sister show to well the established Contemporary Craft Fair, Made by Hand is a brand new craft and design event for Christmas. It offers the chance to buy direct from some of the UK's leading designer makers, as well as providing workshops, demonstrations and live music for visitors to enjoy. 

The show will be filled with unique, sumptuous handmade items in a wide variety of disciplines, including textiles, jewellery, ceramics and glass. I'll be exhibiting a range of work from the bowerbirfd collection as well as a number of limited edition pieces for the season, so please do come and say hello!

I'll also be promoting my new, exciting venture as a maker at madebyhandonline, an exclusive online shop selling original contemporary craft direct to the public.

It should be a fantastic weekend whether you're viewing, buying or learning about the different works on show, not to mention a great start to the festive season!
