I'm delighted to be taking part in the first ever ARTbourne Art Trail which takes place later this month on Saturday 30th & Sunday 31st May, and I'll be in the Town Hall.

With over 100 artists taking part, it promises to be a fabulous weekend celebrating artists, makers and creativity across over 20 venues including historic buildings, independent businesses and pop up spaces. All on one walkable trail around the beautiful market town of Ashbourne.

Wedding ring workshop season is in full swing. It's been an absolute pleasure welcoming so many couples to my studio this spring and helping them to create their wedding rings.

Beth and Brad made their rings at the end of March, with Beth making Brad's ring in silver and Brad making Beth's ring in 9 carat white gold. Here is a glimpse behind the process of them creating their rings and few words from them in their Google review.

Bluebells. Always so magical, especially with dappled sunlight falling on them. Lucky to have so many places to see them blooming here in South Derbyshire.

Thank you to everyone who came to visit the Derbyshire Makes Festival in sunny Swadlincote this weekend - what a fantastic day! I taught 30 workshops making hammered copper leaves, with participants ranging in age from 3 to 70, and enjoyed showing you around my little studio within Sharpe's Pottery Museum.

Thank you to Derbyshire Makes, People Express and Sharpe's Pottery Museum for all their support in making this event happen. So wonderful to see the town buzzing with creativity!

✨And I've just emailed SH who was the lucky winner of my giveaway for a signed 🖊 copy of my book, 'Making Silver Jewellery'✨
