What a fabulous trip to @sculpturebythelakes @gallery_by_the_lakes for @dorsetartweeks. Lots of stunning large sculptures with a gallery, artisans bazar shop and delicious cafe. There’s a great display of the #Wonderment collection collaboration with @kathrynthomasoops. Highly recommended for a tranquil day out in Dorset and time for a walk on the beach #dorsetartweeks #artisanbazaar #sculpturepark #dayoutindorset #colourfuljewellery

Helix spiral earringsNew design twist earrings. Anodised aluminium is fairly easy to shape and these lightweight earrings are hand painted on both sides and formed into a simple spiral design. This shape creates a feeling of movement and length to compliment the face. Prices start at £40. Please contact me for more information. Anodised aluminium is a great material to work with but the Anodic layer (which holds the colour) can deteriorate over time and the result can look like this!! You can see where I’ve cleaned off the excess inks that the colour hasn’t properly been absorbed into the metal and is much paler than I intended. From experience I expected this might be the case so this is only the background layer before I got into full swing painting. Having said that these “faded mistakes” can turn up some stunning creations I would never have thought of doing. It can make things a bit unpredictable but also very exciting!! #learnfromyourmistakes #trialanderror #turnedoutgood  Reduced prices on selected items

Beazley Designs of the Year 2020 |
 | A thought-provoking trip to the Design Museum in London to see the Beazley Designs of the year 2020. Some eye opening desings... steak grown from human cells, Stormzy's stab-proof vest designed by Banksy and have you heard of the uncensored library in the digital game Minecraft? The exhibition includes designs from fashion, architecture, food, transport, product and graphic design and spans from January 2019 to the moment global attention shifted in late January 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic took hold. https://designmuseum.org/ There's also a free exhibition on Margaret Calvert who designed the UK's road signing system, railway and airport wayfinding signage and particularly relevant at the moment is the gov.uk website. She also seems to have good humour and these are some signs she made for fun - Women at Work and Mouse crossing!! |

I'm absolutely thrilled that the Wonderment Collection is now being exhibited at Sculpture by the Lakes in Dorset alongside the art which inspired it by Kathryn Thomas. A tranquil and peaceful location set in 26 acres of land with a gallery and cafe bar this is a perfect day out. The range includes cuff bracelets from the largest size (50mm width) to the thin (20mm width), earrings, rings, necklaces, brooches and cuff links

ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE
Matthew Burrows http://www.matthewburrows.org/home has established the Artists Suppport Pledge. Please support if you can. Matthew says:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many artists have found themselves without work, teaching, technical support and gallery work. Exhibitions and sales have disappeared. In an attempt to help alleviate some of this stress I have instigated the ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE #artistsupportpledge
The concept is a simple one. Artists post images of their work, on Instigram which they are willing to sell for no more than £200 each (not including shipping). Anyone can buy the work. Every time an artist reaches £1000 of sales, they pledge to spend £200 on another artist/s work.
To make a pledge, post your work with the #artistsupportpledge and follow the # to see everyone else's work. Keep updated on new opportunities and announcements @artistsupportpledge Repost and tell your friends, colleagues and collectors. Let generosity be infectious.
#supportartists #covid19 #coronavirus #livegenerously
ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE was set up by myself on the 16th March 2020 in response to the COVID19 pandemic. Since I posted my first image and wrote those fateful words 'I pledge' it has become a global movement towards a generous culture and economy in support of artists and makers.
The project uses social media platform Instagram, which is a popular platform for artists to post images and share their work. Artists and makers can post their images using #artistsupportpledge giving details of their works and price (no more than £200 or equivelent). If people are interested in buying, they message (DM) the artist. Anyone can buy the work and artists don't need permission to join.
Every time an artist reaches £1,000 of sales, they pledge to buy £200 of work from other artist(s). I’m encouraging donations too, made to particular concerns such as @_hopsitalrooms

A look back at the Harmony and defiance collection from early 2019 which seems more relevant now than ever. There will always be a shifting balance between them whether it’s a global crisis or a personal difficulty. Stay safe.

Although no one wants to be in the situation we're in at the moment, the partial lock down has provided me with some time to work on new creations. In normal, every day life there's always something that needs to be done, an order to be fulfilled, the dog to be walked, shopping to be bought (it's a hard life!) so to work on something just for fun usually leaves me with a niggling sense of guilt. I am still concerned for the future but I'm not taking for granted the escape I find getting lost in the making process. I feel so lucky to have a workshop at the end of my garden that I can potter about in and be creative. I'm hoping to share more pieces with you over the next few weeks. I'm limited on materials but if you could make something what would it be?
It's a bit early for swifts but the swallows should be with us soon. These are hand cut from a flat sheet of plain unanodised aluminium.

I am lucky enough to have my workshop at the end of the garden so this strange new life we have in lockdown still allows me to create pieces in anodised aluminium. One of the things I've been meaning to do for a long time is to make some homeware starting with these clocks (the clock movement pieces were bought in 2015!). There always seemed something more important to do but (c)lockdown has given me the time and space to have a go at something new and I've
