Attention to detail is such an important factor in Attention to detail is such an important factor in being a maker. Not only do we want to create a beautiful product that will last a lifetime, we want you to know that we really care. This is why we strive to give you the best service and experience, and also set an example and look after your piece too!
-
One way to show care and consideration is in the packaging - Jess' boxes are a perfect example! Recycled packaging with a bold, happy colour ribbon and a hand stamped logo for that extra special handmade touch!
-
I bet the piece inside is nestled so cosy and neatly!
-
To peruse Jess' wares, and get something to go in this beautiful box, head over to @frivolities now!

What a time to be @the_metalsmith ! Last week, Emi What a time to be @the_metalsmith ! Last week, Emily recieved an email to let her know that her work (one piece being the ring pictured) was going to be included in Creates Gallery's 'Emerging Artist Award' for 2021. This exhibition will largely be online due to current restrictions, but hopefully the gallery will be able to open before the exhibition ends on the 29th March 2021.
-
Not only this! But make sure you tune into @bbcradiosolent at about 16:20 on Monday and you should hear Emily talking about the Hand Medal Project! Crazy, right!!
-
One of Emily's sculptural rings and big smiles all round! If you'd like to see the pieces exhibited in the exhibition, head over to @createsgallery and follow the link in their bio. If you'd like to follow Emily's adventures, make sure you're following @the_metalsmith !

Rosie at work. - When Rosie paints, she likes to c Rosie at work.
-
When Rosie paints, she likes to combine observations with memory; she wants the work to exude an integrity and humanity.  Sometimes childhood memories spill out into an urban landscape and other times it is a feeling of a distant, forgotten land.
-
Being able to appreciate work and skill at face value is one thing, but knowing the context of art, the intentions of the artist and watching the layers build, is just something else. It takes the art to a whole new level!
-
What are you interested in learning about our artists? Have you got any questions about any of the work? No question is a silly question!
-
Rosie is sharing a whole variety of new work over at @rosieparmley.art and if you'd like to see more about what her classes are up to, head to @rosieparmley !

With this piece, she’s trying out fabulous aqua brush duo pens from @lyra_feelcreative . Being able to vary the thickness of line adds a bit of character to these jars.

From left to right: an experiment (and clue of what 2021 has to bring!), a dainty ring that's had a few re-inventions now, and a lovely chunky ring created in a 2020 workshop. The second slide shows a recent commission, the sunshine bouncing off the sheen.
