Open studios round-up - Christmas shopping in London
Posted on
To source gifts that that are both thoughtful and not mass produced, why not plan a visit to an artist and maker's open studio? Over the next few weekends, there is a flurry of studios open. You can meet maker's, see them at work and buy beautiful and original handcrafted art, jewellery, ceramics, textiles and woodwork for friends and family.- 0 comment

Jewellery that Dazzled at The Goldsmiths' Fair 2021
Posted on
The jewellery in gold, silver and brightly coloured gems dazzled. Be your taste contemporary or traditional, bold or conservative, armed with a reasonable budget, there was something to suit everybody. Pieces could be bought direct from the makers on the stands or commissioned to collect at a later date.- 0 comment
