I will be moving out of my humble home-studio to a brand new studio at the Biscuit Box part of the Biscuit Studios that are set In the heart of Newcastle’s Cultural Quarter.
It is exciting and in the mean time daunting… watch the space for more developments.
Another stockist added to list of shops and galleries that sell my jewellery : Thought Foundation, a fantastic creative community interest company in Gateshead. Go on, have a visit, you will find many lovely things to see, to do and to eat! I do silver clay jewellery workshops there as well!
Proud and Happy! At the National Glass Centre , Sunderland with my concrete and sterling silver jewellery.
Over the last 13 months since I have left my “proper” job and give my focus on creative activities life became calmer in many ways and hectic in many other ways but most definitely happier.
Excited to announce that I will be exhibiting along with many other artists at the National Glass Centre, Sunderland this year. I am part of the there and the preview evening is on 28th September.

Some of my silver items are hallmarked at the Edinburgh Assay Office. I can now exhibit the dealer’s notice. The hallmark contains the sponsor’s mark (that’s me) which is EMT, the fineness mark which is 999 for pure silver, assay office mark which is a castle for Edinburgh Assay Office and a year mark which is a “t” for 2018.
Now there is almost a month to go for this trade fair. I am almost prepared though so much to do.
Just re-reading some of the articles from BCTF website such as this one that makes me proud:
“Why choose BCFT? – 43 years in the making…..BCTF showcases the and the largest collection of the UK’s most talented designer-makers, its dedication to promoting British is unparalleled.
