Coronavirus
Dear All
It is a worrying time for us all. I thought it would be good to keep you informed about workshops due to the current pandemic we all are facing.
At the moment I do not have any requests for cancellation and I won’t be cancelling any workshops for the time being. However if you are unwell, please follow the government guidelines and please do not attend the workshop and let me know so that I can offer you alternative dates for June/July onwards.
My Studio which is based at the BBox Studios is following ALL government guidelines and we are watching any updates for further guidance. At the moment it is BUSINESS AS USUAL. My workshops are small gatherings and although it seems that the government will pass legislation with regards to mass events, I feel if all attendees are vigilant about their health I will be able to deliver the already booked workshops as usual.
You can still shop from my website and deliveries will be as fast as it can be in these circumstances.
If you are planning to attend one of the events I will be at, please check my events page to see whether the event is going ahead or not.
In the unfortunate event that I end up developing symptoms, I will have to self-isolate and I will update all workshop attendees if this happens.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Keep safe and thank you for support.

Almost a month into 2020
Well it is that time of the year that we all make plans for the coming year. I am preparing for the British Craft Trade Fair again this year and it feels like I have graduated and now will be with the big boys and girls in the main hall! A bit scary but hey if your are not scared you are not into what you are doing! See below my web presence at the BCTF web catalogue.
For the first time in its history British Craft Trade Fair is opening its doors to public on the first day of the fair. So if you fancy a visit to Harrogate (who does not, especially since the world famous Betty’s Tea Room is there!) why not come an visit me. The public day is Saturday 4th April from 10am to 5pm. Click here to find more about the venue.
Blanca Space
There is a new exhibition I will be part of soon. It will take place at the Flat Cat Gallery in Lauder, Scotland, showcasing artists and makers from North East of England. More info will be coming soon.
Events that you can find me coming up fast and the first one will be the Ouseburn Open Studios, Spring 2020. This will take place between 28 and 29th March. Come and visit me during this event at the Biscuit Box Studios. More info will be coming soon but pencil the date!
Did you know that you get FREE Royal Mail Special Delivery if you spend £50 or more on jewellery items on my website. And if you sign-up to my newsletter you get 10% discount on your first order.
Workshop bookings are open as always and many of them fully booked or almost fully booked. So if you want to do some thing with your hands in coming months do book your workshop as soon as possible.

Or better why not come to a workshop together and enjoy spending time with each other make lovely jewellery in the mean time. For more details on workshops please visit my workshop page.
That’s all for the time being. Until next time be happy, make things and enjoy life.
Best Wishes
