Moving to Nottingham

I moved to Nottingham over the summer and I am now having a look around ...
And so far, here are a few things I have seen, people I have met ...

At the Wirkworth Festival, I met Clare Goddard and really loved her studio shop and her felt pieces (see below). I loved the fact that the space looked white and bright and clear and neat ....
There, I also found these amazing paper jewellery pieces by Sarah Louise Kelly (Saloukee). They were very simply presented under transparent glass bowls.

In Nottingham, last saturday, I went to a monthly arts market "Apples and Pears" organised by Curiostity Haus (you can turn the volume of the sound off on this site). There were lots of interesting very affordable craft works and I'm very likely to apply for a stall for the next market end of October !!

There I also met Eirann, a multi-talented American artist, printmaker and writer (and she can speak French too !). I loved her delicate prints. Here is her blog.

Yesterday, I went to the Hopkinson Gallery (previously The Arts Organisation, opposite the train station, they are having a re-launch next saturday night) where there was one of the Judy's affordable Vintage Fair. The artists' studios were also opened upstairs and I met Julia Church, who makes wooden jewellery using pyrography. I had already noticed these necklaces before and it was nice to meet her in person. She advised me to go to Debbie Bryan's studio and shop, which looks fabulous.

Bespoken for Gina

Today I have started to repair one of my friend's favourite seashells necklace. It was a gift she received when she travelled to Thailand. She loves it but the nylon string is too old now and has started to break. I have replaced it with a "beading wire". It is quite interesting to rebuild it as it was made with an intertwining of two strings (new technic for me !).
I have also made her a pair of matching earrings as she wanted to have.
