And that's a wrap!

A huge thank you to everyone who visited Art in the Gardens this weekend.

It was my most successful weekend to date!! THANK YOU! ❤️🙏🏻

However it wasn't just about the sales, although they were hugely appreciated!

It was also the most wonderful conversations with the loveliest of people. So many heart warming compliments about my work, my set up and my new pieces.

Hearing about jewellery previously bought and worn regularly and new pieces bought to add to their collection or to gift to friends and family, pieces of art displayed around homes and creating talking points with visitors, excitement about attending future workshops, people making purchases then showing their friends who then also visited and made purchases and of course seeing trader friends old and new.

This year has been challenging for small businesses but today you came out, supported and gave us the boost to keep doing what we love. ❤️🙏🏻

THANK YOU!

If you can't attend a weekday evening for my alcohol ink Christmas workshops I am running the glass bauble, Christmas card and candle painting workshops Thomson and Vosper on Saturdays!

Spaces are very limited and are held in a lovely, welcoming space with lower numbers so you get additional support and guidance if needed.

Not only that but you get chance to browse all the wonderful products for sale in the shop too and trust me there are lots of beautiful things to see!

To book any of my workshops here visit www.thomsonandvosper.co.uk

After some much needed time out with family I'm back in the studio getting ready for at Sheffield Botanical Gardens this weekend.

You will find me in the Home and Gardens section with my art, jewellery and homeware collections and the weather is looking perfect for a day out browsing all the wonderful art!

And that's a wrap! Thank you to everyone who popped by my stand, had a chat about my alcohol ink work and supported with kind words or a purchase.

It was so lovely to see familiar faces who have supported previously and of course meet lots of new ones.

If you missed the show don't worry. It's only 10 weeks until we are back to do it all again for the Christmas shows in November!

It's scary to think how quickly that's going to come round!

A huge thank you to the organisers Becky and Leigh and team The Artisan Show. It was another beautifully curated, well organized show where going to work feels like a day catching up with old friends and family.

I'm now taking a well earned break to spend some quality time with the family and will be back on the 5th September for Art in the Gardens in Sheffield.

First day with The Artisan Show The Staunton Harold Estate done!

The weather was perfect to enjoy browsing all the fabulous stalls both in the marquee and in the gazebos around the estate.

The talent as always is exceptional and well worth a visit!

Great location, super friendly exhibitors and yummy food!

I'm here tomorrow and Sunday 10am - 4pm and you will find me in the marquee.

Hope to see you there!

A sneaky peak at some of the new pieces I will be bringing to The Artisan Show this weekend at Staunton Harold.

Scroll to see a very exciting new addition!

I may have been very quiet on here but I've been very busy in the background!

Not only do I hand paint all my pieces but I also print them in house too so there's lots of work that goes on behind the scenes to get to the finished piece.

Plus it's the school holidays so there's been a whole heap of plate spinning going on to get everything done! Exhibiting this weekend will feel like a rest!

It's all beginning to take shape and I can't wait to show these and lots more new pieces and designs this weekend.
