What Have I Been Up To?

Posted on May 19, 2013 at 1:47pm 0 Comments

Since returning from Istanbul, it has been non-stop in the workshop, preparing work for orders and making some new pieces too. I've sidelined a number of works-in-progress in order to get on with more pressing issues, so there are no updates on my Chanel-inspired piece or my tribute to Alexander McQueen, though I have progressed apace with my first foray into electronics in jewellery, "14th Century Nightlife" which I hope to finish finally this coming week after it sitting on my bench for…

Waa!

My wonderful, indispensible, reliable, cheerful, friendly, unflappable workshop technician, Fiona, is leaving on Thursday. She's found a better-paid job with more promotional prospects and she'll be superb. The students will all miss her and they arranged a lunch for her today, which was great fun.…

The crazy Easter Holiday is over, back from Istanbul, Brighton and the Bowie exhibition at the V&A - quite wonderful, well worth seeing if you are a Bowie fan, probably best avoided if you are not - and back into the workshop. I've been there for a week now, but it has been so hectic that it feels like I've never been away.



My first morning back, I had agreed to help the Physical Education department to train their new personal trainers, so I was sweating buckets on a…

Hi Dauvit,

Thanks so much for the comment....you have inspired me to push myself out of my comfort zone.  I love the treasures you brought home from your recent trip and getting a chance to see more of your work.  Vicious I is getting lots of ooohs & ahhhs as it dangles from neck daily.

Hi Dauvit, thanks for the speedy response, your work is wonderful and has a strong visual voice.
your statement is right up my alley as well.

Much appreciated,

Christopher

Hi there, been here a little while just not very active!  The new photos of the stainless codpiece look great - a bit western gunslinger.  That Earrings Galore exhibition looks interesting I may have to investigate.

We just had an Artist & Kids weekend,I had to teach an impromptu jewelry/enameling workshop. Remember Zoe from your class? She volunteered and brought in her pieces to show the kids. Lots of fun, however I'm covered in enamel!

Absolutely!  Looking forward to your visit in the summer, maybe we can play with the new kilns (lots of other new equipment coming our way, too!).

Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!
