So tomorrow is the big day of the Christmas Market!! My fellow 4th year jewellery students have our first ever selling event there and I would love it if you could all come along! There will be live music, mulled wine and mince pies. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of talented British designers :)
What more could you want from a Saturday?! :D
A little while ago Vanilla Ink and Nikki McWilliams hosted a lovely evening of jewellery, biscuits (of the cushiony kind) and mulled cider, of the cider kind ;)
They are both based in studios at Wasps in Dundee and had their collaborative night to kick off the open studios weekend. The whole weekend was a brilliant insight into what is possible after we leave the safety of university and are kicked out into the big bad scary world! It was especially interesting to see the Vanilla Ink set up as it really is the perfect stepping stone for a new jeweller starting out.
A highlight of any night has to be the raffle and clearly I was lucky that night as I managed to win a £10 Nikki McWilliams voucher :D Fair to say that didn’t last long and was used the very next day on one of her famous Tea Cake Cushions which is now sitting pretty in my room.
I love events like this- It’s great to see the success of graduates and get the chance to have a chat and find out what everyone is up to!
Here are my snaps from the night!..
