The Harley Gallery

With all the commotion of getting ready for Harley Gallery and Christmas I have been so slack with Blogging! 

Im doing a few posts to update you all on my goings on since my last post.

My weekend at the Harley Gallery was really successful! It was really nice to be in an atmosphere where everyone was like minded and the people who are there have to come buy arts/crafts/jewellery things which have a medium to high price point.

I got so many compliments about my work and lots of people were really friends and interested in knowing about what I do, where I studied etc..

I feel like I learned so much from the Art Market; how to set up my own stall, displays, pricing, selling my work and working out what sells. I did lose quite a few sales due to not having a customers ring size which is disappointing, but you live and learn and I have a few people email me for orders after the  weekend.

I put some of my degree show work out to show but didn't really have any intention of selling, but one woman loved the large coiled earrings and was adamant she wasn't leaving without them. Im so pleased that I've sold some of the pieces!

Overall Im so so proud of myself, I worked hard and it paid off.

26 days and counting

With the Harley Gallery arts market drawing closer I've been busy making stock for it. 

Im almost finished just a few more bits to do, and a few hours in the barrel polisher.

Im off to Birmingham tomorrow to pick up (hopefully) my last silver order before the market,

no doubt ill have a panic the week before and place another cheeky order.

Ive also had a lot of love from the Harley Gallery on twitter and Facebook this week!

The Perfect Sunday

I had my first sunday off in ages so I roped my dad in to helping ( when I say help I mean he did it all under my guidance) 

make my displays for the Arts Market. 

It was such a nice day on sunday we got the shorts 

on and got to work 

(please excuse my dads dodgy sock/flipflop combo he's not aware this photos online haa)

There aren't quite finished as they need sanding and Im unsure whether Im going to spray paint them the same colour as my branding, like a minty green, not sure if it will look to much or to just keep them as they are and varnish them?

Im really pleased with my dads handy work and I hope my stall will look good and lots of people will buy!

The Photoshoot

So here are a few photos of what I've been up to recently. My lovely sister in law has photographed them all for me so they look professhh!

Ive got 4ish collections.

' All That Glitters '

' Silver Linings '

' Aztec '

and theres also ' Simple ' and ' Coiled ' which only have a few pieces in at the moment and I need to look at developing and expanding both collections.

I feel like a mini factory at the moment churning all these jewellery out for the Harley Gallery Arts Market. I know its just under 2 months away but I'd rather be over prepared than panicking closer to the time.

Check out my next post for more about my preparations for the market!

Harley Gallery Christmas Market!

I got a text recently off my friend Charlotte to ask 

if I got into the market as she had got 

her email so when I checked I  finally got an 

email to confirm I have a place at the Harley 

Gallery Christmas Arts Market!

Im so so sooo excited but nervous at the same time, 

I have so much to make and do for then and really

 need to crack on! I feel like theres a million 

things I need to do to prepare myself and 

looking at the amount of other people 

doing it Im wondering if Im ready but hey 

I need to start somewhere!

If your around Nottingham/Welbeck 22nd, 23rd and 24th November come by and say hello!
