East Neuk Open Studios 2019

2019’s open studios has been and gone. The weather was lovely and lots of people visited; and several people bought pieces or commissioned new work.

Commissions included a charm bracelet as a gift for a niece in Canada, which included a dolphin from the Firth of Forth; and a neck piece using an piece of carved peat that was a brooch from my childhood. I’ll show progress on this piece in a later post.

A sea water patinated bowl went to a new home as did a sea drift necklace.

It’s always good to show people my work and studio and I particularly like new commissions.

Work in progress

I’ve started test pieces for the glass poppy petals that I want for a commissioned piece commemorating Dunkirk.

Keny Drew at East Neuk Glass let me try out some different moulds, colours of glass and different glass thicknesses.

I now need to try thinner glass and make my own irregular moulds because these are too chunky and symmetrical; but the process has started and thinner glass will be easier to cut.

Thanks Keny

 

Heart charm bracelet

This one has lots of hearts, a dolphin, a lucky stone with a hole and a moonstone (so it’s super suited for Valentines). Solid silver throughout and several unique charms. Pieces can be added or taken away too….
