It's been a good day at the Festival of Crafts: it's much bigger than I'd expected with 7 rooms and over 70 exhibitors. Looking forward to having a look around tomorrow when I have a bit of help on the stand.

Took a quick snap of a few of my rings as I was appreciating their textures and colours en masse especially now that I've had some gold plated. Unfortunately this quick iPhone photo doesn't really do them justice!

It's only a week now till set up for the Farnham Festival of Crafts, and I'm working hard to make sure I've got a good range of pieces.

I'm sure it's going to be a great event with 75 designer makers including established craft practitioners and new graduates. Ceramics, textiles, glass, wood, metal, and jewellery of course!

I do still have a couple of FREE tickets to give away, so if you want to save the £3 entrance fee then email me now and I'll pop them in the post to you!
