So it’s been a year since I started making and selling my handmade wooden boxes in Ash with trays which stack inside – and a year of exhibiting and selling them at art fairs and events all over the North East and beyond. I’m delighted that I also had them accepted for exhibition and sale at Number One Kirkharle with their wonderfully supportive team. It’s been great doing this alongside my furniture commissions and getting out and about meeting people.
Over the past year I’ve met so many lovely, inspiring makers and artists and have really enjoyed talking to everyone who’s visited my stall at events. It’s a joy not only to talk about my boxes and get such positive comments, but also to hear their stories about boxes, crafts and collections.
It’s been lovely to hear from people who’ve bought boxes and trays and to find out what they’re using them for. It’s such a variety: artist’s materials, keepsake/memory boxes, craft materials (e.g. sewing, crochet, embroidery), jewellery, seeds and all sorts of collections. Many people buy them as special gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, civil partnerships/weddings etc. I’ve also made bespoke boxes to suit people’s particular requirements.
Contact me if you’d like to discuss buying a box or to join my mailing list to find out about future events I’ll be at. I also post events on Instagram so follow me to keep up to date.
