The Hand Medal Project - who's heard of this?
-
In a grand project, starting in the Spring of 2020, jewellers across the world started making hand medals as a token of gratitude for NHS workers on the frontlines during this unprecedented battle. Thousands of jewellers, thousands of medals and heaps of gratitude.
-
Whilst the deadline is over, Emily aka @the_metalsmith is still taking nominations. This month's batch are all spoken for but if you wish to nominate an NHS loved one for a medal, please do get in touch. A small waiting list for next month is already in place, and the best bit, it doesn't cost a thing!

Another work in progress; our creatives are ever so busy!
-
This one is with @the_metalsmith. Emily is currently working on her continuation of the Hand Medal project, which you may have read about in this month's newsletter. Since the beginning of the year, it has reincarnated into something a little bigger and she's working on some wall-hanging pieces!
-
A lot of problem solving at this stage, hence the current state of the bench. Stay tuned to see more!
-
*All of the test pieces will be kept and reused at some point.*

Carol's favourite tool! A clever little device that found it's way here from the US.

It's a wire jig, which allows Carol to easily and accurately create all sorts of wire shapes.

Interrupting normal service with a bit of news - I'm sharing this on all platforms just to make sure as many of you see this as possible.
-
Facebook are planning some changes for their 'Pages' feature, which is what our little businesses operate on through their channel. A new feature is coming in to play that means we have to make sure we're FOLLOWING pages rather than only LIKING them, as Facebook are phasing out this 'like' feature.
-
If you're already following, wonderful! You don't have anything to worry about. If not, make sure you head over to the Facebook page, or anyone else's that you want to continue seeing and make sure you are following. If you have any issues, let me know and I'll do my best to talk you through it!

Wandering around Winchester; what is your favourite thing about this glorious city? If you had to recommend just one thing to do/place to eat/thing to see, what would you insist a visitor do?

A lovely shot of Jenny and Rachael working on the 'Whistler's Mother' bollard as a tribute to the NHS and our wonderful healthcare workers.

Two wonderfully colourful paintings from @jennymun

Two wonderfully colourful paintings from @jennymuncaster today. These were created just in time for Christmas as a super special gift. Both of the compositions incorporate very personal elements belonging to the people they were painted for.
-
Features such as favourite foods, a particular bottle of wine and happy holiday destinations views through windows.
-
Jenny loves creating these personal paintings for people. She's very enthusiastic about the privilege of being asked to create personalised pieces with such sentimental importance to the person that it's destined for!
