For some reason I hadn't noticed that I still have two places available for tomorrow evening's ring making workshop; it doesn't happen very often to be fair so has certainly taken me by surprise!
So, if you're free and fancy trying your hand at making a set of fabulous stackers like this lovely mum and daughter duo did, then this is your sign. ๐งก You can either book via the website or, to make it even easier for you, just get in touch and we'll get you sorted.
If you can't make tomorrow but this is still something on your radar, then my summer workshop programme is now live, with dates for rings, bangles, pendants and earrings right through till the end of August. It's such a lovely way of escaping for a few hours, whether it be solo time out or time spent with friends. Plus you get to go home with shiny new jewellery too. Could there be anything better?! ๐
Spring has officially arrived at LollaMacHQ!
Eloise was back today to work her magic on the window and I think this might just be her best yet! As usual it was a case of "I kinda like this and I kinda like that, and I've got some green and yellow paper flowers to hang" and left the rest to her. I absolutely love it! ๐๐๐
What am I going to do when she heads off to uni next year?! ๐ณ
The 'Creative Quarter' Art Trail is back!
After the success of our first open evening back in September, my creative neighbours and I are excited to be holding our next installment at the end of this month. It's a great way to find out more about our work, have a chat and maybe discover something new.

Whether you're a regular visitor, someone who passes by but is nervous about coming into one of our studios or galleries, or someone who is discovering our lovely little street for the first time, we'd love for you to join us. It's free, no need to book, just turn up anytime between 5 and 8pm, grab a drink and have a wander around our little trail. See you there?

Back in the shop today after my trip to Skipton at the weekend. Took a bit of doing to get everything back on the shelves again, but looking at it now you wouldn't know it had all been in boxes this morning!
Now that my trade show season is over I'm looking forward to having some time to focus on new things for the year ahead. I do like having time to play at the bench! ๐
I realise I've left this a bit late, but better late than never I guess! ๐คท
I'm off south to Skipton on Friday to set up for the Artisan Made UK trade show this weekend, meaning I'll be closed tomorrow while I do all my packing, plus Friday and Saturday too. I'll be back to normal on Tuesday. I will be in the shop tomorrow if you need me, just bang on the door and excuse the chaos!
Blog post: Tyneside travels. The North? In February? Turned out rather well actually.

If you're in Hexham and like live music, it's the regular 'last Friday' folk(-ish) music night at the Platform Bar tonight. Looking forward to hearing Mills & Farrell again, with support from some (or more) of the Platform Bar House Band.
Also, possibly the best-kept beer in Hexham, if you can find space to actually get to the bar.
