The new workshop

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

We have had a lot of building work done on our workshop and taken the opportunity to give the old office a fresh lick of paint and some fancy wallpaper.

The new space can now be used as a showroom to display our jewellery, a spacious environment to have meetings as well as a clean room to do design work.

Dazzle

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

Edinburgh Dazzle Exhibition is fast approaching!

“We are thrilled and relieved to have found a new home for our 2011 Edinburgh Festival exhibition. We are returning to our roots, and joining with Assembly in their move to George Square. We will be exhibiting in the foyer of the George Square Theatre, which will be hosting a full programme of Assembly events, from first thing in the morning until very late at night. It will be a real hub of activity with Assembly also in George Square Gardens, the David Hume Tower and other places , yet to be revealed.

We first exhibited at the Assembly Rooms on George Street in 1983 under the Assembly umbrella and had many happy years there  before our move to the Traverse Theatre. It has been very problematic finding a new venue for this year and at one point we feared that we had reached the end of our run in Edinburgh, but thanks to a lot of effort on the part of many supporters and friends, we feel confident that we can put on a good show this year.”

I love the fab Red Flyer, it looks set to be an event not to be missed. For more information visit: www.dazzle-exhibitions.com

Centrepiece selling website

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

The Centrepiece Jewellery website has some jewellery for sale on it already and it looks fab! I know a lot of the members of Centrepiece Jewellery have worked really hard to get it looking this amazing! I think the layout works really well but obviously we are hoping for lots of constructive feedback to make sure all our customers can utilise the site and by all the jewellery they desire.

Open Workshops!

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

A big Thank you to all those who attended and also to Simon who came and filmed the whole event!

We had to make the best of our temporary workshop as it’s not the ideal working or shopping environment! I took a couple of photos of how we displayed our work and as always you can see me with my camera!

Perhaps this is the true definition of shabby chic?!

New Collection

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

Here are some pictures of my new collection that I have been working on for quite some time. Many pieces from the collection are now showing at ‘ Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery’

“Since 1996 this leading contemporary jewellery gallery has been set within Salts Mill, home to the world’s largest collection of work by David Hockney. Open daily, it specialises solely in contemporary jewellery, silver and metal smithing showcasing diverse collections by over seventy renowned designers and emerging talents from Britain and abroad.

Much of the work on show pushes and blurs the boundaries between fine art, jewellery design and fashion resulting in jewellery that is, perhaps, best described as wearable art. Pieces are often created using a surprising range of materials and techniques.

The gallery organises a  number of  major exhibitions each year, some of which have been supported by funding from Arts Council England and the Crafts Council in recognition of the important role they play in showcasing the very best of British and international talent in Yorkshire and the UK.”

Kath Libbert and her gallery has a great reputation so I’m really pleased she has chosen to exhibit my work!
