Sussex Guild members will be showing wonderful handmade ceramics, furniture, glass, jewellery, knitwear, silversmithing, textiles and woodwork. Meet the makers to discuss their signature techniques and design inspirations, to buy excellent handmade applied art, or to commission a bespoke piece of craft.

There’s ample free parking, and stunning views over the Sussex Weald in one direction and over the Sussex Downs in another. An on-site café uses locally sourced fresh produce, some of which comes from the Plumpton College estate.

This event is part of Sussex Craft Week (20-28 June).

Local diversions will be put in place. Expect delays. Please plan your route on Sunday 21 June accordingly.

Counting down the days until my next show at Plumpton College with The Sussex Guild. Here are some new cloisonné enamel Iris pendants. I love these flowers. They always seem so joyous and elegant, all at the same time!

I am just back from a totally amazing time in Jordan where I was at a family wedding. The brides parents live there and family and friends flew in from all over the world for a week of celebrations as well as seeing some of the amazing sites. We have been to Petra, spent the night at Wadi Rum in the desert under the stars, visited Madaba and just enjoyed the city of Amman and the wonderful people we met there. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. It was our first visit but it won’t be the last. We now have new family and many friends from all over the world. The wedding itself was epic and mind-blowing and so full of love for everyone there and especially the happy couple. I have danced so much that I could hardly feel my feet at times! Here are a few of the highlights from Petra. We rode horses up to look down on the Library. It was so beautiful and very empty as we were almost the only people there. Good for us but not for the Bedouin who live and work there. I spent some time doing some sketches and painting of an evening. I am sure there will be some new work arising from all this but I don’t know yet where it will go. It will take me some time to process everything I have seen and experienced. This is the start of the journey!

I am so excited to be teaching this class. I am really looking forward to being able to spend two days really focussing on the techniques that I have spent many years practising and developing.

I have had a really great bank holiday? I actually finished all my urgent to do list on Sunday so took all of yesterday off! We got up early and went to our local car boot sale where I bought these two gorgeous books. They are amazing and I am half way through the Lawrence Durrell one already. I love the paintings by Paul Nash and they are even better because I have visited many of the places featured. In the afternoon I sat and played with my paints trying to depict the foxgloves in our woods. As always I am thinking of how to make this work for enamelled jewellery. There is a quote in the book adapted from a Sufi mystic, about forgetting the physical form and painting the perfume. I really like that because too often I have focussed on tiny detail, which is easy for me to do with cloisonné. More and more now I am trying to depict a more abstracted image with colour, engraving and only a few wires. Just the latest step on my life’s journey with enamel. If nothing else it gives me an outlet for all the art materials I have collected over the years! The paintings are in gouache with sepia ink in a dip pen on tiny khadi pieces of paper. They aren’t finished and probably just the first as I explore this subject further. The foxgloves are glorious and the best we have had in the woods. Have a wonderful day. I am seeing friends later for a cream tea and a catch up. What a treat.

I bought some new pearls for this bluebell necklace. What do you think? I’m planning to wear it for a special event soon and I couldn’t resist them when I saw them. The necklace is a mix of gold and silver cloisonné enamel on silver with an Iolite set in 18ct gold. I made it a while ago in response to the bluebells in the woods where I walk the dog everyday. It was part of a small series of pieces I made on this theme.
