Not knowing much about writing blogs I thought it would be good to introduce myself and give you an insight to the main characters that influence my world.
Firstly I am Grant, I am a jewellery designer maker. As well as making I also do a fair amount of teaching jewellery making as well as fine metal design at our local university.
I live with my husband Adrian who is a Stone Carver and conservator. We are happily living our days in sunny Taplow with our dog Stout (more about him later) and a flock of chickens (more about them later too) it is not unheard of for either the dog or the chickens to hijack the computer so be warned!
I exhibit my work at a number of venues throughout the year and hope to update you all where and when I shall be showing off to the general public but please see my Events pages for details. I am also very lucky to have some work in The Tiny Gallery in Henley on Thames where the lovely Emma exhibits beautiful designer crafts.
We have a small house in the gorgeous Pays de la Loire which we are slowly decorating and hope to build into a wonderful holiday home, this is a big and very new adventure for us and hope for exciting times ahead.
So I am looking forward to sharing my world with you all, filling you in on everything from my influences, experiences and sometimes just a little bit of the weirdness that pops up in my life. Bear with me in this new venture and feel free to comment, message and generally share things with me.
Grant
