A last minute report

Media_http2bpblogspot_hdlcb

Oops - been a bit busy recently and haven't had time to blog! Week 2 of Goldsmiths' Fair starts on Tuesday, and set up is Monday, so it's pretty full on here.

I went to see the week 1 exhibitors earlier this week: helps to get in the mood! I'm on the stand that Vicki Ambery-Smith has had for 5 years now and she likes it, so that's good. I've lots of new work to show so it'll be good to get some feedback and hopefully some sales!

Goldsmiths' continues till Sunday 11th October, and then we set up for Origin on Monday 12th! No time to fill any gaps in my stock or revise the display, so I have to do all the preparation for both shows now.

I'll be showing more new work in Origin too, including silver pendants. One of pendants is shown above, along with some stud earrings. The image is my new postcard (yet to arrive!)

If you're able to please come and visit:

6th - 11th Oct: Stand 5, Goldsmiths' Fair, Goldsmiths' Hall, Foster Lane, London EC2V 6BN

13th - 18th Oct: Stand I1, Origin, Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 1LA

It'd be lovely to see you!

Preparing for Origin

In October I'm going to be exhibiting at Origin, the London Craft Fair, run by the Crafts Council. Unlike at Goldsmiths' Fair, where the display cabinets are provided, at Origin you design your own stand to a far greater degree.

I'm going to be sharing a stand with jeweller Daniele Geargeoura, and we've decided that rather than hiring jewellery display cabinets (which people usually do on shared stands) we'd like to do something a bit different.

Having met a couple of times to plan things, we're finding it really hard to design a stand that will will meet all our display and storage requirements, be easy to store afterwards, and yet not too expensive! Standard jewellery cabinets certainly hold some appeal!
