Starter for 6

Currently taking part in the Starter for 6 programme through Cultural Enterprise Office in Edinburgh. Its been so worthwhile, I would recommend anyone in the same position as me to apply. Only a few weeks to go before my pitch, lots of work to do, wish me luck!

I am currently showing my work at three exhibitions:

3rd October 2008 - 9th January 2009
The Christmas Exhibition - Diana Porter Contemporary Jewellery, Bristol.

10th November 2008 - 9th January 2009
'Opulence' - RBSA, Birmingham.

16th November 2008 - 2nd January 2009
Designer Jewellers Christmas Exhibition - The Barbican Centre, London.

So if you are around any of these areas and fancy a look, or have any last minute christmas presents to buy, then head on over! Plus I have different work in each exhibition so all of them are worth a look!!

I have also updated my website with some fantastic photos of my new work and with details of my up and coming exhibitions.

ROAR! Exhibition

The ROAR! Exhibition at the Oxo Tower went very very well! It was incredibly busy, which I take as a good sign, and some of the other exhibitors work was amazing! I saw a few familiar faces from New Designers too which was comforting :)

There was no expense spared when it came to the catering, much to our delight! The Champagne flowed all night and never ran out, plus the canapes were so imaginitive! Then to top it all off, there was more food and drinks at the after party!! All in all a very succesful and very enjoyable evening!

Up and Coming!

If anyone is in London this week and fancies a closer look at my work, I will be exhibiting in the 'ROAR!' exhibition at

The Gallery @ Oxo & Bargehouse,
Oxo Tower Wharf,
Bargehouse Street,
South Bank,
London,
SE1 9PH.

Its running from the 19-21st September and is open from 11am-7pm, admission free.

Hopefully see you there! :)

Degree Show...DONE!

So thats my Degree Show set up, ready for the unveiling to the public on Friday! Very very exhausted, too exhausted to celebrate that its all over!! Now that iv got all this free time on my hands, iv started to set up a wee business for myself :) I have started creating my website which is still under construction, and I have registered myself for New Designers for my exhibition in London in July.

Degree Show Preperation

Been very busy leading up to the Degree Show! Just got a few weeks left and it will all be over! Managing to remain calm about it all, which is refreshing as usually I would be in stress mode and pulling my hair out! But iv planned everything well and seem to have enough time to get everything done...for now...!

Just sent away my photos for the Goldsmiths Precious Metals Bursary Award, so should be recieving my certificate soon. Very exciting :)

Heres the pieces I created using my bursary...

My Postcard

So at the moment I am going through the very exciting but very complicated process of creating a postcard as an advertisment of me and my work. Finally, after lots of to-ing and fro-ing, I decided on this one. Its a round silver pendent with a 9ct gold detail, on a cable chain. Phew! Glad thats over!
