Saturday and Sunday 11am - 6pm

Please feel free to come and visit.

CreativeGAPS...

Not long after New Designers I was asked if I would like to have my work on the creativeGAPS website. It's a fantastic site full of talented makers and I am very pleased to be part of it.

 Currently my work can be seen on interiorsGAP and craftGAP.

Update...

Sorry it's been a little while since the last post, I've been a little busy, but have lots of things to share.

During the degree show back in June (feels like a while ago now), I was invited to exhibit with the Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen, which runs from the 4th- 28th August in Painswick. I went along to help set up and was given the task of painting....& had lots of it to do! I have to say it felt like I was back setting up the degree show and New Designers!

The Exhibition was held in an original Arts & Crafts building,

which was the perfect setting for the show. The Ceiling was the best feature!

It went from this above picture....

To this....

The Private View...

Couldn't believe how many people were there!

This was my first exhibition since graduating, so it was a little strange. But it was nice to exhibit alongside some established makers, some of which I have seen at other reputable shows.

While I was in Painswick, I explored the town, which was built in this fantastic stone.

 It was beautiful.

The walk through the church grounds was lovely too!

Degree Result!

All the hard work finally paid off...

I was a very happy lady!!!!

A night to explore....

A little trip to Liberties couldn't be missed while in London, I fell in love with this cabinet...perhaps for the workshop?! If I had a bit more money.

One evening we went to Harrods to eat cake...of course! But as art students we couldn't turn down the opportunity to visit the British Museum.

Some photos to help generate new ideas for future designs...perhaps!

New Designers and London living...

I have to be honest, I did pretend I lived in London while New Designers was on!! I loved it!

I shared an amazing apartment with four friends in High gate and cooking together all week saved a few pennies too! It was my first experience at New Designers and couldn't get over the scale of the place...or the heat for that matter! It was very warm all week! Not good when we had to carry all of our work and display units up a few flights of stairs...twice! 

New Designers on the day of arrival.

Day 2: Setting up our work.

We didn't have that much space to move...but we got there in the end.

Beautiful sunshine!

The finished article... minus the toolbox!

The tutors worked really hard to curate this space.

A job well done!

Degree show!

Well it's been a little while since I last updated my blog, so it's about time I did!! I have lots of lovely photos to upload, so I will say no more!

Our degree show at Hereford College of Arts.

Everyone worked so hard and we put together a fantastic show. The private view was a lot of fun and nice to see everyone all dressed up!
