Twenty Kilos of Angels, Feral critters and Flatwear heading for Hobart’s Hammer and Hand !

Hammer & Hand Byron Bay are preparing for our Twice Annual Exhibition .. This time around the theme “a LOVING SPOONFUL”

Join us at the launch on Friday evening, 21st June, 5pm at the Studio/Gallery at 4 Ti-Tree Place in the Byron Arts and Industry Estate for a big helping  !!!

What a fun night opening night was – and such a buzz for the four of us  from Hammer and Hand chosen to showcase the talent of jewellers in the Northern Rivers area.  The gallery will run for 5 weeks and is open Wednesday – Sunday 9am-6pm.  All four of us (Helen, Lucille, Laura and Jen) will work at the gallery for a week each – so we hope to see you there!

I can hardly look around and not see something – a window, an insect, the curling pages of a book – without thinking….’how fabulous, how could I incorporate that into a piece of jewellery?…’  As you can see by the pieces below, sometimes I just pick that thing up and turn it straight into something to wear, other times it’s more the feeling of it that comes through in the design.

Hope to see you at the pop up shop in Byron c/o Arts Northern Rivers (in the old library building – looking schmick with a new coat of paint and many, many hours of scraping the old one-way film off the windows).

I have just re-stocked the Byron Shop with Stainless steel Salad Servers and Cake Slice or Servers..

These make an ideal Wedding Gift so next time there is a wedding near you ….
