It’s hard to believe how quickly this year has passed, but it’s no surprise that I’m busy making exciting new jewellery for you to choose from in my studio gallery.

I’m opening my studio gallery each weekend for Christmas shopping from 3 to 18 December, Saturdays and Sundays 12 pm to 5pm @ 69 Cinerama Crescent, McCrae.   Please feel welcome to drop in.

If you’re busy on the weekends, keep a look out for an open evening to be announced shortly, or give me a call to arrange a private appointment.  Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

What can you expect to see at my Open Studio on 14, 15 & 21, 22 November 2015?
