Next week, I will be making my London Craft Week debut ( exciting ! ! ) as part of the multidisciplinary exhibition Seven Crafted Stories. The show runs from the 11th to 17th May at @atelier_seventy_six - a beautiful West London townhouse, grounded in process, material curiosity, and the vibrant energy of the city. Curated by ceramicist Emma Louise-Payne, the exhibition spans seven rooms, each celebrating a different material discipline. Featuring work from the talented @rhgoldsworthy_art @otziltd @aimeebetts @jochen.holz @davey.makes and @emmalouisepayne I love seeing my work in these curated interior spaces, amongst such talented makers, feeling very grateful for the opportunities that have come my way this year - and excited about what’s ahead 🥹 Please RSVP [email protected] if you would like to come celebrate at the Wednesday night launch party - or feel free to explore the show in your own time throughout the week, 1-6pm 🥂 @londoncraftweek

She's finished ! ! 😵 I have been working really hard to complete this piece ahead of Goldsmiths Fair, and I'm excited to share this first look ~~~~~ The clover box all shiny and new. This box was made during my residencey in Shetland with @southhousesilverworkshop and finished off here in my studio in Glasgow. The coiled hinge has been set with a smokey quartz sourced directly from the Cairngorms by @scottishgemstones - the perfect final touch to a design that’s inherently Scottish ⚒️ Thank you @gabiesilveira for capturing this piece so beautifully before it heads down to London Just one week today I will be setting up at my first Goldsmiths Fair. Open to the public 23 - 28 September, for those of you that would like to come sneak a peek at my new collection in person 🍀 @goldsmithsfair @craftscotland @rod.kelly

Ring sizing! To minimise waste and get a good fit most of my rings are made to order. Although some styles can be resized it’s best we try to get it right before the silver hits my bench. The easiest way to get an accurate measurement is to pop in and see me in person ~ if you’re Glasgow based come to dennistoun for a cuppa and a chat 🌷 Alternatively you can pop in to a trusted jeweller or request I send you a sizer in the post, please note that wider bands run slightly more snug than your average ring gauge so the more information we have the better 💌 To order bespoke, email [email protected] and we can chat any size enquiries through <3
