Getting back into the Swing of Things

It's taking some time but am gradually getting back into the day to day running of the studio...I'd forgotten where stuff was. Think its a mixture of being still in beach bum mode and my age!!!!

Already there is lots of new things happening with quite a few new designers getting on board and their work will soon be out on the shelves in both the boutique and gallery areas.

I'm also expecting a delivery today of more designs to add to my new range of fine art greetings cards. These have been well received by my regular customers and I must admit because they are giclee printed the colours are amazing..so vivid and true to the original.

My website with online shop is going very well and I am about to upload about a hundred more products over the next few weeks so watch this space.

Hope you are having a great Summer and catch up soon...remember the coffee pot is always on here

Big Change Round ....for more Jewellery

As you probably know I' m always moving things around in the gallery to keep things looking refreshed and it keeps my regulars on their toes.

This time I spent two full days moving the Boutique Area around. Those poor glass cabinets have been everywhere but look nice in their new home.

This has all been to make way for even more gorgeous jewellery which is one of my best sellers.

My customers love the fact that they can purchase of piece either for themselves or as a gift knowing that it was not mass produced and made here in Britain.

Many even commission the Designers to make them that special piece and they are so thrilled.

It is great to offer such a personal service and a girl can never have enough jewellery.

I am already planning move for the other three rooms so watch this space.

With Spring on its way Studio 61 designer's are busy working on their new ranges and I am so looking forward to seeing what they have been up to.

A lovely Start to the Year

I feel as though Spring is at the far end of the tunnel and I can't wait. Crisp Derbyshire days are great...I don't mind cold it is the rain that is oh so miserable.

Anyway got a great year planned in the studio and had a good start so far. Several enquiries from galleries regarding my work which is great as they approached me. I tend to sell my work just here so be good to get it out and about.

I'm currently working with a Derbyshire design company on producing a fabulous ecommerce website to have an online shop selling a varied range of work currently on offer at Studio 61...this is so exciting.

Plus already getting lined up more Ladies Evenings so make sure you are on the mailing list to find out more.

Keep you posted
