A week on Islay

I finally had some time off so decided there was only one place to spend it, Islay! and what an amazing week it was.  Couldn't have timed it better, we had a week of beautiful hot weather.  I don't think I slept in later than 7am any of the days and then we were up and out walking and cycling...heaven!

Back to work now and May is going to be a busy month for jewellery with an exciting Islay related project on the go which I'll update you with soon...and I'm busy getting new pieces together for a gallery down in Farnham...with that in mind I better get back to my work bench so I'll leave you with a few photos from my trip. Enjoy!

RESIDENTS - August Exhibition

Our latest show down at Such and Such opened last night, thanks to everyone who made it along.  The exhibition runs until the 11th of September.

Here's a couple of images of my new pieces.  For more pictures of the show check out our Facebook page HERE

"Each of Charlotte’s works are pieces of a larger narrative exploring the way in which we use our surroundings, especially those of a domestic, personal nature, to store the objects and memories that are precious to us. Often using found fragments and patterns as a starting point she alters and rebuilds them to highlight our own fragility."

Back to Silver

When I used to work on Islay, the track to the studio was lined with beautiful mayflower hedges. These earrings are part of a range I've been meaning to make for ages now inspired by them.

They have been sat at the side of my bench for quite a while so this morning, feeling a little sorry for them, I decided it was about time they got finished!

The earrings have a continuous integrated hook, a style of earring I love to wear, and have been given a lovely frosted matt finish.
