A collection of work is now available from Gill Wing Jewellery in Islington, London. It is part of ‘Natural Forces’, a show that opened today and continues until Friday 10 November. My work is amongst nine jewellers including three graduates from the Royal College of Art . . .
I’ve been very lucky this year enjoying many a long weekend in London. Visits to galleries I have work in, or checking out those I’d like to, museums, vintage markets and on one long hot summer day I wandered around Shoreditch and Brick Lane etc hunting out graffiti. . .
This Sunday I will be taking part in the last Little Northern Contemporary Craft Fair of the year. Come along to Altrincham Grammar School for Boys from 10am to 5pm. I will have jewellery, collages, cards, and my bunting for lovely stocking fillers.
Dazzle has begun; this year I am exhibiting at both venues, Manchester Art Gallery which continues until 12th January 2014 and @OXO London, continuing until 5 January 2014.
My Paper Shop is now stocked up with bunting and collages. I am giving free post from now until the end of December when you enter Mailing List at the checkout. and you can sign up to my mailing list by visiting my website and signing up!
Studio 6 is open 7 days a week throughout December including Sundays from 11am to 5pm and late on Thursdays until 8pm; all at Manchester Craft & Design Centre in the Northern Quarter.

It is Dazzle time again! This year I will be exhibiting at both Manchester and London, it’s been a little while since I took part in London Dazzle so that’s very lovely! They are both in new sparkly venues, the Manchester show is at the beautiful Manchester Art Gallery, and I will be working there too again (and choosing jewellery for myself the minute we get the chance no doubt!). And London Dazzle is at OXO tower, amazing. London actually opened today, continuing until 5th January, and Manchester is opening on the 23rd November continuing until 11th January. I have a bench covered in bangle parts as I write this, waiting to be completed tomorrow and posted asap!
There was a lovely buzz at the craft centre this week while fellow makers are preparing for the Art Markets and the next Little Northern in a couple of weeks. In the meantime I’ve sent a new collection to Flow while Forming words prepares to travel to the craft centre.

And I am delighted to have received this week, a book I’ve been featured in (and dying to see for ages!) 500 paper objects . . .
The book features some lovely makers whose work I really admire, including Jennifer Collier who very genorously told some of us about the opportunity . . .
Ruth Singer . . .
Katherine Richmond . . .
and Elsa Mora . . .
Forming Words at Flow ends on 17th May, but fear not, it will then tour to Manchester Craft & Design Centre, opening on 7 July and running until 9 November, and while you’re visiting you can come and see me and my ever growing collection of jewellery & collages in lovely Studio 6! I’m very pleased to say that Flow have asked me to continue with them after the show and so I will be working on a new group for them over the next few weeks.
I’ve also added some new pieces to lovedazzle . . .
I will be taking part in an exhibition called ‘Forming Words’ at Flow in London. I’m excited to be back at this gorgeous gallery and also to be exhibiting alongside some of my favourite makers. One of my favourite brooches will be going along for the exhibition, ‘Walthamstow to B’ham 1919’ . . . The exhibition then goes on tour to Manchester Craft & Design Centre, which is most exciting! Will post more on that nearer the time.
Just to let you know that my collages will continue at Twenty Twenty until the end of January . . .
I am very pleased to have been invited to take part in ‘Forming Words’ an exhibition at Flow in London from 13 February until 17 May, after which it will travel to the Manchester Craft & Design Centre from 7 July until 9 November . . .
And I have just added a couple of pieces to lovedazzle.com (those below) ~ the best place online to buy contemporary jewellery, take a look . . .
