Nope, not the subculture that rose to prominence in London in the swinging 60′s, I’m afraid. Not quite (but at least a little closer to) case modding practiced by our brethren, the computer geeks. What I’m talking about is modding tools.

I started a wonderful project last year about collecting images of brooches from the side we rarely see, the back side. It was such a wonderful experience to see how different artists approached the back look and mechanism of their brooches.
I started looking around for more pictures, and although it was not an easy task I managed to create a wonderful board on Pinterest named, of course, …

Great idea: Pairing craft with other types of the handmade. How about hosting an event where guests pick a ceramic or glass plate to go with their favorite craft cheese tasted right at the event, glassware to go with with craft beer (or coffee/tea), jewelry to…

Every year, the august body, The Trades Hall of Glasgow, a marvellous philanthropic association of people who strive to preserve the craft skills in society, organise a competition between the colleges of Further Education in which the students compete to win substantial cash prizes,…

The circuit of degree shows rolls on and last night was the turn of the graduates at the Glasgow School of Art to show their stuff and unlike last year, which - though good - felt a little "flat", this was a show buzzing with ideas and energy, every bit as good as the Dundee and Edinburgh shows over the last few weeks.…

This new collection will be on show and available to buy during London Jewellery Week at Treasure, Somerset House 13-16th June.
I am a big F1 fan and love to draw my inspiration from the…
