My commission is finished! It’s been a big one and I look forward to being able to share it in a couple of weeks.

This does mean that I am now able to start my . I am so looking forward to the next 3 months of 3 days a week being able to focus on my hand raising and pewter forming techniques.

The opportunity to practice and manipulate the pewter to enable me to make larger but also more complex hollow pieces is very exciting I have got a few of my books out to do some research. If anyone has further suggestions of ones to look at please do comment.

Pewter is rarely used for raising but yet again I have found it works beautifully. It is a slower process than I am used to with pewter so having that time to think and play is something else I am looking forward to.

For any metal and silversmiths who haven’t used pewter ……..yes it is softer so does move quicker but I still need to retain that control and of course no annealing between each round of hammering!

Anyway I hope you will continue to watch this space to see what develops.

I am very thrilled to announce that I recently received the exciting news that I have been approved to for an DYCP (Develop Your Creative Practice) award.

This will enable me over the next 3 months to work on the project ‘Exploring Personal Development Through Hand-Raising and Pewter Forming Techniques for Larger Sculptural Work’.

I feel so very lucky and excited to continue with this project and really develop my skills and continue to push my work forward and also pewter as a material. Which in turn will also enable me to pass on these skills in the future encouraging more people to work with pewter.

There have been several happy dances around the workshop in the last week! I am very much looking forward to starting the project.

Celebrating International Women’s Day, there are so many amazing women in my life they encourage, support, educate, listen, advise, have fun, make me laugh and tell me when I am being an idiot or wrong but always from a place of respect or love (maybe not for a few of you older friends, you know who you are!!🤣)Thank you, including all of my great women Instagram followers.

My book Pewter Designs and Techniques is back!

It has been reprinted in paperback this time, still full of lots of useful information and inspiration for working with pewter.

I still get that proud feeling when I see it!
