I am pleased to announce that you can now find a selection of my work at @vk_gallery in St. Ives, Cambridgeshire including botanical stands of various sizes, botanical ring dishes, textured ring dishes, and festive tealight holders.
It's a beautiful gallery with lots of light and an amazing selection of glass, ceramics, paintings and jewellery. Definitely one to check out if you're in the area, and if not they have a website that you can order from: vkgallery.co.uk
Happy shopping. 🌿

It was a real privilege to be at the Festival of C

It was a real privilege to be at the Festival of Craft at @farnhammaltingscraft last weekend. It was a fantastic event, well-organised with good footfall. There were many beautiful stalls divided amongst several different rooms full of wonderful inspiring makes, and friendly creative types. I was happy to bump into some familiar faces from @craftworks.show and make new friends with my lovely stall neighbours. A huge thanks to Jo and the team for inviting me to be a part of it.
The response to my work was very encouraging with many compliments given in regards to the soft colours and overall calming feel to my work. These lightcatchers were particular popular and I definitely plan on developing these further next year.
I'm not doing an awful lot of markets before the end of the year, but if you do want to catch me out and about then you can find me at the following events:
November 16th: Craft & Flea, Sheffield
November 24th: Craft & Flea, Lincoln
December 15th: Pollen, Sheffield
I hope you're all well. x

These sterling silver chunky rings made in collaboration with @susannahbrookesjewellery are on my stall for the first time and have received loads of attention and compliments.
We're open again Sunday, 10am-4pm. There are many rooms on different floors with so many fabulous makers of all disciplines. The quality of work is very impressive.

Hello. Thought it was time I did a new intro post

Hello. Thought it was time I did a new intro post so in contrast to the last one which focused on my glass career, here's a few random bits about me...
I always start the day with coffee but end it with a cup of tea (all decaf).
In my twenties I visited Hong Kong four times and it still holds a special place in my heart.
Music is my daily source of inspiration/therapy/motivation, and I never stick to one genre.
By chance I saw the Sex Pistols play live in L.A., but my favourite gig was Download 2004 - the line up was incredible!
My house is full of plants and artwork, and I am still acquiring more of both.
I used to customise dolls and action figures which sold internationally, from as far as Australia to the USA.
The last country I visited was Morocco where we went surfing and sandboarding, both for the first time (I have the balance of a weeble!).
My favourite film is Pan's Labyrinth - my favourite soundtrack too.
I love a strategic board game, but can still beat my boys around a race track on video games.
My future goals include a lot of travelling, especially around Europe and South East Asia.

These 4 fabulous rings go on sale at 7pm tonight in my online store. Taking some photos today has given me a chance to appreciate the amazing skills of @susannahbrookesjewellery
Made from recycled silver, each one is custom made to neatly nestle the glass within. There are 2 different ring styles with the green and blue rings featuring a thinner rounded band, whilst the pink and orange have a wide flat band. All of them have a beautiful satin finish which works great in contrast with the watery reflective glass.
I still can't decide which one my favourite is!
I'll add a link in my stories when it's time.

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by my st

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by my stall at Ruddington last night to compliment my work, talk workshops, and most crucially, bought from me. This journey of being an independent artist is a bumpy one to say the least and I've been feeling a little deflated recently, so last night's success was a much needed boost, so thank you all!! 🙏
Here are some of my favourites which found new homes yesterday, and a quick glimpse of the new sterling silver rings on Susannah's stall. @susannahbrookesjewellery
We have received a lot of interest in the rings, for which we are very grateful. They will be available to buy from my online store tomorrow evening from 7pm, so set your alarms! ⏰️
There are only 4 different ones available, which colour would you choose?

So excited to share these fabulous rings with you

So excited to share these fabulous rings with you all! These are the result of a maker collaboration between myself and the wonderful Susannah of @susannahbrookesjewellery
Susannah has worked really hard to come up with a bespoke design that lets the light shine through whilst keeping the glass securely in place. I love the contrast between the solid look of the sterling silver and the fluid transparency of the glass!
And of all happy coincidences, Susannah and I will both be at the Methodist Curch for Ruddington Maker's Night this evening 4-9pm. So for your first chance to see these new rings in person, come and find us.

I will have lots of botanical stands to choose from at @ruddingtonvillagemarket this Friday, which as you can see take on differing looks depending on the lighting. Place on a bright windowsill to witness the full range of colour as the sun travels across the sky and changes in tone throughout the day.
This Friday will be my last market until after summer, so if you were hoping to buy something from me in person in the near future, then be at Ruddington Maker's Night on 21st June.
It's always a great event with many makers spread across several venues throughout the village, and you will find me in the Methodist Church.

Earlier this month I held a 1:1 full day workshop

Earlier this month I held a 1:1 full day workshop with a lovely lady who drove up from Kent to make a beautiful glass bowl. The bowl has leaves adorning the edges and a personal painting using enamels at the centre. She captured the day within this wonderful video that she sent to me so that I can share it with you all (thank you!). 😊
I do love hosting workshops - sharing my love of glass with others and seeing how they interpret the resources at hand to realise their own creative designs.
If you're interested in attending a workshop yourself then you can find all the info regards my workshops on my website, or alternatively you can DM me for details.

Here is my contribution to the @contemporary_glass
