Let’s talk about spinner rings 😃

There are loads of different styles of ‘spinner rings’. It’s essentially just a ring with some sort of moving part - great for anxiety or anyone who just wants to fiddle with their jewellery!

In the pic below, the big one is the first spinner ring I ever made - it’s a classic wide band, flared so that the outside wire ring can spin freely but not fall off. This type can also be made with thicker wire, beaded wire, multiple wires etc etc etc!
We’ll be making rings like this at my Make a Spinner Ring workshop on 21 June.

But a few days ago, on a whim, I made this tiny ring with just a wire and 3 free running beads and I think it’s my new favourite ring! I was going to sell it but I’ve decided to keep it for myself instead ☺️
I can make more though if anyone wants one!

There have been some requests at the two tarot reading workshops I've done, and from people who've popped into the shop to discuss those workshops, for me to put on a tarot card creation workshop.

So here it is! On Tuesday 30th June 7-9pm we'll collage our own cards and see what we end up with! It's a bit experimental but I had a go this morning and produced the two cards in the picture below. I didn't know which cards I was going to make, but as I flicked through magazines looking for pictures and words that felt meaningful, I ended up creating Justice and The Lovers. The process was like a reading in itself 😊

We won't get through creating a whole deck in 2 hours but we could make a start, and if it's popular then we could make it a regular thing and work towards a whole deck....

If you're interested, it's all live and ready to book, and there's a bit more info on the website. Any questions, you know where to find me!

I loved the creativity on show at last night’s jewellery making with metal and wood workshop 😃

Lots of different ideas, colours and designs, and a lovely supportive atmosphere.

Here are some of the photos I took but feel free to share your own if you were there!

Good morning on this bright and sunny (but also very rainy) day!

I managed to dodge the showers getting in and intend to spend the day finishing off a commission piece and making a couple of other pieces to sell.

Hopefully there will also be lots of interruptions from people popping in to browse in the shop! We’re open til 4pm!

As I said in my last post, jewellery making can incorporate a wide range of materials to produce some very different pieces - minimalist, maximalist, bold or dainty - all styles have their place. And what I love about teaching workshops is seeing what styles and ideas lots of different people come up with!

In contrast to the cheaper materials of this week’s metal & wood workshop, next week we’re using sterling silver wire and semi precious gemstones to give our creations shine and colour.

There will be more focus on learning techniques (like making your own ear wires) so that you can make your own unique designs from precious silver wire rather than pre-cut shapes.

Bold or dainty though, the style you choose will still be entirely up to you!

Here are some examples from previous similar workshops.

One of the things I love about jewellery making is the huge range of materials you can use to make wildly different styles of beautiful pieces to wear.

On Wednesday night we’re going to use metals (aluminium and copper) and thin pieces of wood in various pre-cut shapes to make colourful, unique, statement pieces of jewellery.

The focus is on experimentation and mixing different materials to make something bright and fun!

There are a few spaces left if you’d love to come along and let your creativity have free rein for an evening!

One of the things I’m loving about running a shop is that you never know who’s going to walk in each day.

This morning two lovely Welsh women came in on their way to holidaying in West Cornwall. One of them asked for me by name and said she’s the aunty of Welsh Katie. I knew who that was straight away - an old uni friend who I haven’t seen in over 20 years!

It was a lovely meet up which really brightened up my day.

I’m feeling all nostalgic now for the early 2000s - a time before social media and smartphones - but on this occasion (and given how rubbish I am at keeping in touch with people) I’m thankful to Facebook for making this lovely interaction possible 😊

Hello to all my old friends who follow me on here but who I haven’t seen for years. I miss you all (but especially you Katie Archer!)

I had a lovely group in the Craft Room today who get together once a month for a craft and catch up.

A couple of them bought kits from the shop (it was great to see one of the slow stitch kits in action!) and others bought their own rugs, cushions and knitting.

It’s just £5 to bring your own activity and materials, and it’s a lovely way to get together with friends for a bit of creative me-time.

So if you want to get together a group of ‘crafty ladies’ (or lads) then drop in during our opening hours (now 10-4pm, Tuesday to Saturday).
I’ll even provide basic tea and coffee, but bring your own biscuits!
