Elements Festival

I am delighted to be be returning to exhibit with Incorporation of Goldsmiths and Lyon & Turnbull at their annual showcase of jewellery, silver and gold, Elements Festival. After having such an enjoyable experience at the showcase last year, I was saddened to think that due to obvious reasons the show would face difficulties this year. However, I am pleased to say Elements will be going ahead from the 6th - 8th of November in an all new digital format!

You can also find more details of the show, information on makers and more on their website, and read my personal interview with Elements for their ‘Maker Profile’ Series on their blog!

'The Goldsmiths' Craft and Design Council is an organisation that promotes the highest standards in design and craftsmanship within the jewellery, goldsmithing, silversmithing industry and allied crafts.’

It was amazing being invited to London to visit the historic Goldsmiths' Hall for the annual GCDC awards. The ceremony was full of excitement and preceded the official GCDCA exhibition opening which featured all of the beautiful work by the award winners. I was overwhelmed and delighted to have won a Gold Award for their 3D Small-Workers category!
