Exhibitions, shop updates, photoshoots and FUNDING NEWS!
This is a rather image heavy post! Where to begin? This Autumn I have…
Exhibited in two places for Devon Open Studios (at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen and at Coombe Park Craft Studios)
Exhibited in Glastonbury
Sold three costume necklaces and received a commission for another
Moved studio into the centre of Totnes (I now have lots more space, so I’ve extended my work bench and put up lots of shelves!)
Re-photographed ALL of my pieces and updated my online shop listings, including a new range of brooches and bag pins (pictured)
Started a job in my local pub (diverting my focus for a couple of nights each week from craft to craft beer and the art of pouring the perfect pint)
Organised a photoshoot of my jewellery work for the 28th October (watch this space)
RECEIVED FUNDING FROM ARTS COUNCIL ENGLAND!!!!
Back in August, I applied for a ‘Develop Your Creative Practice Grant’ to develop my woodcarving, and last week I found out I had been successful! This will fund 2-3 weeks of mentoring from top woodcarvers, some new tools/materials, a bit of promo, and most of all, some wages so I can support myself whilst I learn and expand my portfolio. In truth, I first applied for the scheme back in February and was turned down, so I’m flying a flag in the name of perseverance!
