 I had lots of positive feedback on the two-tone earrings @artisanmadeuk last weekend so I've been busy making more. Lightweight aluminium makes them super easy to wear and they have a great dangling movement that show off the eye-catching colours.

It's organised by well established designer-makers providing creatives an opportunity to showcase their work to potential buyers from galleries and shops throughout the UK. Last year was a great success and is going from strength to strength.

And it hurts my fingers!

I’ve never been to the Sahara but in my head these are the colours I imagine it to be like. Hot! More details of the fair to follow.

 The next summer fair I'll be exhibiting at is the @themakersfair Stanmer Park Brighton - it's free entry and there’s lots going on with stalls, demos and the beautiful garden. I’ve copied this from their website so it’s a bit of a longer post than usual today but it sounds great!
"The Maker’s Fair @onegardenbrighton is one of our most popular events of the calendar, with a carefully curated display of up to 70 exhibiting artists and designers. This event showcases the very best creative talent in the South. Visitors can also enjoy a schedule of practical demonstrations including wood carving, willow weaving, pottery wheel throwing and more. Come and ask questions, meet makers and hopefully become inspired to try something new. One Garden Brighton is a regenerated historical walled garden nestled in the Stanmer Park Estate. The gardens have been expertly designed by modern-day landscape architect Dominic Cole, renowned for his work on the Eden Project. The Garden is free to enter and has a restaurant, café and market shop." https://www.themakersfair.com/events/event-summerweekender-8legz One Garden Brighton, Lewes Road, Brighton BN1 9SE 11am - 5pm #themakersfair #brightonmakersfair #OneGardenBrighton #sussexmakersfair #stanmerpark #colourfuljewellery #anodisedaluminiumjewellery #vcj With Father's Day fast approaching here are some cufflinks for dapper Dads out there.

I’ve been wearing one similar to the mottled purple and gold set which really stands out against a classic black roll neck top. They’re also be perfect for summer… if it ever arrives 🔆
#colourfulpendant #pendantnecklace #pendantearringset #necklaceearringset #colourfuljewellery #halfcirclenecklace #halfcirclependant #earringset #lightweightearrings #vcj #summerjewellery New pieces have arrived @fisherton.mill to top up the existing display keeping it looking full and refreshed. I love them placed on the mirror which bounces the light around the pieces. Thank you Stephanie for arranging it so beautifully! @fisherton.mill is an absolute must see if you’re ever in Salisbury. It’s a converted mill with a gallery bursting with arts and crafts, a lovely café with delicious treats and al fresco area, along with studios and creative spaces upstairs.

They’ll be coming with me to @artisanmadeuk in Skipton this weekend. ArtisanMadeuk is the only trade show exclusively for handmade British art and craft and if you're a museum, gallery or independent shop and would like to browse the 160 exhibitors please come along and support us. You can register on their website www.artisanmadeuk.com

There’s quite a buzz around this show, more than I’ve seen for other shows I’ve done recently. I wonder if it’s because it’s the only show in the UK that is dedicated to independent designer makers and is more accessible to emerging talent. Trade shows are often very expensive for small businesses but this one is affordable and it sounds like there’s lots of new people attending. 160 stands at the last count!
Buyers and gallery owners you can register now on their website www.artisanmadeuk.com #artisanmadeuk #crafttradefair #handmadejewellery #handmade #tradeshow #makers #ukcrafts #britishmade #shopindie #britishcraft #colourfuljewellery #indieretailer #craft #trendsetter #retailevent #discovernewdesign #designinspiration #retailtrends #shoplocal #retailbusiness #retailbuying #shopsmall #gift  It’s just a month to go until @artisanmadeuk in the beautiful town of Skipton, North Yorkshire. It’s a new one for me and it’s certainly the first time I’ve exhibited in a cattle pen! I think I can safely say it’s a unique venue with a lot more space than you usually get at a trade show so I’m having to rethink my stand layout. Over 150 exhibitors have now signed up and galleries and independents can register to visit on the website www.artisanmadeuk.com 23 & 24 March, Skipton Auction Mart #artisanmadeuk #crafttradefair #handmadejewellery #handmade #tradeshow #makers #ukcrafts #britishmade #shopindie #britishcraft #colourfuljewellery #indieretailer #craft #trendsetter #retailevent #discovernewdesign #designinspiration #retailtrends #shoplocal #retailbusiness #retailbuying #shopsmall #gift
I learnt a new word today – Reuleaux - a curved triangle with constant width. I didn’t know it was even a thing until I made these. I can’t guarantee their constant width as they’re all cut by hand but isn’t perfection overrated anyway? I prefer to describe them as original and unique!

The transformation from dyed flat sheet aluminium to cuffs and earrings. If only it was that quick in reality! The metal is built up with layers of colours and once sealed is hand cut, hand polished and hand formed into jewellery. A lot of time is spent filing, polishing and smoothing the edges to ensure that pieces are easy and comfortable to wear. #handmadejewellery #handmadeearrings #handmadebangle #colourfuljewellery #widebracelet #jewelleryset #handpaintedjewellery #anodisedaluminiumjewellery #vcj #sussexjeweller #oneofakindjewellery #lightweightearrings #jewellerymaking #adjustablebracelet These peachy purple sets are fresh out of the workshop. According to @pantone, peach is colour of the year 2024 🍑
