I am now on annual leave until Wednesday 23rd September, so I have suspended the online shop. BUT… I can still be contacted to make workshop bookings. My response may be a little slower than usual, but I will get back to you.
We will be flying off to have a much-needed break before my busiest time of the year. I will be checking my emails first thing in the morning while I’m off though, so please still get in touch if you have a query. The shop will be back online on Wednesday 23rd September. Apologies for any inconvenience.
I have published my Christmas workshops & as there are so many dates, I have created separate pages for the October & November workshops. There are no workshops in December as I like to know I have a safety net in case I get behind with kiln firing. Plus I may be attending a few fairs etc.
My open studio weekend this year will be Saturday 21st & Sunday 22nd November. There will be glass gifts & homewares from my kilns & jewellery made from my own kiln-fused glass & Murano glass from Italy. All available to purchase on the day without the hassle of going into town & with free parking.
Reviews… I know they can be a pain… BUT, they are incredibly important to small businesses. Reviews give potential customers an insight into what they can expect from a lesser-known company & help build trust. So, just a little request from me… If you make a purchase & 14 days later you receive that email, please consider leaving a review. I am very grateful for them.
Also, reviews for the workshops are not shown on here as they are not booked via this website, so please take a look at my Facebook reviews to see what people think of the workshops.
If you fancy receiving my monthly newsletter, why not pop over to the newsletter sign-up page & sign up. I PROMISE you will not be spammed by me, nor will I sell or give your details to anyone else. And the monthly newsletter will be just that… monthly. I really don’t have the oomph to send one out more often than that! But you will occasionally receive discount codes in the newsletter to use in the online shop & it will tell you where I am taking the pop-up shop.
All my jewellery is now displayed in a cabinet in my studio, so if you’re local & see something you like in the online shop feel free to pop in & have a look. I take both cards & cash in my studio. Please check first that I will be here as I am sometimes out at an event. Or attending physio for my shoulder (but that’s a whole different story…) I don’t work Fridays.
Ashes in glass memorial lightcatchers are something I make, so if anyone is interested in having a lightcatcher made to remember a beloved pet, please use the Contact form to get in touch.To make a memorial piece, I need less than a teaspoon of ashes & any unused ashes will be returned. I can make a pretty floral lightcatcher with your pet's ashes for about £22 & if you would like something more elaborate we can discuss it to see whether it is in your price range.I do prefer customers to email or use the Contact form to contact me as it’s the most reliable way. I can’t always answer the phone when I’m making glass or jewellery & Facebook likes to tell me I have messages but then refuses to show them to me for some reason. I really don't mind enquiries. Things are often cheaper than you might imagine & an enquiry doesn't mean I will be forever chasing you. And if something is not in your price range or it's just not for you, there is no need for any embarrassment. I am not a hard-sell person & will accept your decision or might be able to offer advice if there is a less expensive alternative. And that is all from me for now. All that is left for me to do is to thank you for your continued support.
