Two down and four to go! Last weekend I exhibited at the Hereford Contemporary Craft Fair at the Courtyard Arts Centre.  Its was a fantastic show, well organised and very well attended.  I showed new work and a lovely person bought one of my favourite pieces, the Flower Bomb Necklace pictured.

This weekend coming up ( 26 and 27 November) I am exhibiting at the South Hill Park Craft and Design Fair in Bracknell.  You will find me at stand 63 in the Bracknell Gallery.
