New talks announced and image of my work on the Brilliantly Birmingham website.

The exhibition starts in 10 days! I have been busy polishing and doing the finishing touches to my new pieces.

Brilliantly Birmingham


I am currently finishing off work for Flux, part of the Brilliantly Birmingham jewellery festival starting on the 27th of November.
Flux takes place at the MAC and showcases work from emerging designers.

It is a selling exhibition so there is the chance to buy unique and innovative pieces of jewellery.

Bilston workshop



These are some images of my workshop in Bilston and new work I have been developing for an upcoming exhibition.

New work for Snug Gallery




Some of my new work for Snug gallery in Hebden Bridge. The collection all contain a piece of fabric from a set of hand made stitched napkins. I make my collections in batches that contain fabrics from the same source.
Above from top to bottom is a bracelet, cufflinks, ring and necklace.

The knitting and stitching show







These are some images from the knit and stitch show at the Alexander Palace taken on the 8th of November. The images show the interactive exhibition by Shane Waltener for CraftSpace. Using scraps of material a continuos chain is formed by adding and taking away material by six makers on the positioned sewing machines. I went with CraftSpace and CIP and got to have a go on the machines and add a bit to the installation. I think it will be really interesting to see what becomes of the piece after the exhibition when it is transformed into something else.

The final image shows a jewellery made by fusing glass and fabric from inside the show itself.

Jean Paul Gautier necklace, Paris fashion week.
Frames magnify the necklace beneath. I'm always attracted to frames and the way they can be worn to highlight; in this case a piece of jewellery.
