I’m thrilled to be taking part in this year’s Shropshire Artisan Showcase, popping up at the Darwin Shopping Centre from 11th–16th May.
Delivered by Shropshire Growth Hub in partnership with Buy-From Creative Agency and Darwin Centre, it’s a brilliant celebration of local creativity, bringing together a small group of talented Shropshire-based makers for a week-long high street pop-up.
I’ll be there with extremely talented artists and craftspeople working across ceramics, textiles, illustration, fine art and more; each of us sharing work that’s been thoughtfully designed and made by hand.
For me, it’s about more than just showcasing jewellery. It’s a chance to connect, so you can see pieces up close, hear the stories behind them, and chat about the process, inspiration, and the sentiment that makes handmade pieces so special.
Throughout the week, there’ll also be live demonstrations and opportunities to experience different crafts in action, making it a really engaging visit whether you’re looking for something meaningful or just fancy a browse.
I’ll be bringing along a collection of my handmade silver and mixed metal jewellery, blending traditional goldsmithing with contemporary design, along with stories of heirloom remodelling and personalised pieces that hold real meaning.
Visitors can also discover more about my fun, creative silver jewellery workshops—perfect for trying something new, and spending some mindful time either in a private workshop or with like-minded people, creating your own meaningful piece.
There’s an exciting competition running over on Instagram, with a mega prize bundle giveaway you won’t want to miss!
I’m incredibly grateful to the Shropshire Growth Hub and Buy-From for the opportunity to take part, and their continued support in bringing this showcase to life.
If you’re nearby, do pop in, say hello, and support a wonderful community of independent creatives. It would be lovely to see you there! Find us opposite M&S.
