Hi Reader!

I hope you are well and having a lovely summer?

I have been working on a few projects during my break, though not as many as I had hoped, as moving house has taken up so much time! But momentum is building, and hopefully one day I will have a little jewellery collection to show you. Sometimes the creative process takes a bit of time to kick in. I’m refusing to get annoyed or frustrated with myself because that won’t exactly help!

Anyway, inspiration sometimes comes in a roundabout way. Recently, I attended a 6-week pottery course at Paint a Pot Place in Bourne and had a great time. Unfortunately, I had flu half-way through, so couldn’t attend a session and didn't feel very creative. As I was about to leave for the last class, my eye caught a photo we have on the wall of Eva (my dog) leaping across some rocks at the top of a Scottish hill. I quickly sketched and cut out the shape of the leaping Eva to transfer onto one of my pots. A few weeks later, I found the little stencil in my bag and made a really sweet necklace, which I love and wear every day. It’s going to be the first piece in my collection.

I know that a few of you have been waiting patiently for some workshop dates so you can come and make something lovely with me. The dates below are for my most popular classes, but if you have something else in mind, you can drop me a message and we will sort something out. I generally open the workshop on a Saturday, but weekdays are an option too.

Saturday 6^th September – Three silver stacking rings (without gemstones) £65 - 3 hours

Saturday 6^th September - Three silver stacking rings, one with a gemstone £85 – 4 hours

Saturday 20^th September – Chunky Silver Spinning ring with three spinning rings and two gemstones £120 – All day

Saturday 4^th October - Three silver stacking rings (without gemstones) £65 - 3 hours

Saturday 4^th October - Three silver stacking rings, one with a gemstone £85 – 4 hours

Saturday 18^th October – Chunky Silver Spinning ring with three spinning rings and two gemstones £120 – All day

Date to suit you - 1-2-1 session working on your own project/designs £20 per hour (not including materials, but does include a chat beforehand to establish materials required. I can source these for you) You can also use this time to refresh skills such as soldering or bezel making (for I am the Queen of Bezels)

Another newsletter next Sunday with more dates and a write-up on a bracelet tutorial I tried out recently.

I'm off for a walk now to secure some blackberries as our new pottery friends Rachel and Andy have given us a bag-full of cooking apples. Alex has promised me a crumble this evening. So if you get in touch this evening, I'll reply to you in the morning x

Thanks for being here – I really do appreciate you very much.
