It must be nearly Christmas: I'm sat in the @LollaMac shop and I've got The Unthanks 'In Winter' album on.

A pair of earrings, pieces of silver formed to look like fallen leaves, resting on a wooden background
Necklace featuring a small hessonite garnet in a bezel setting attached to a silver ring. It is resting on a heavily grained wooden board.
Anyhoo, these pieces ARE online, and ready for you to find them! 😉 Fingers crossed I'll be sorted soon and can get the rest up very soon. 🤞

Necklace that features a teardrop shaped piece of 'native copper' in a silver bezel with a scalloped edge, resting on a heavily grained wooden board.
I'd been making good progress at getting my new Autumn pieces online over the past few days… and then my laptop died. 😫 It's currently in the repair shop and I'm hoping against hope that they can fix it, as I really don't have the time or headspace to be […]

"I had the best time at @LollaMac today making my own ring! The workshop was fully accessible, and Clare went above and beyond to make sure everything worked perfectly for me. Highly recommend!"

Two young women side-by-side, one sitting, one standing, behind the counter of a jewellery store, showing off the stacking rings they have just made
Two young women sat at a wooden table, busy making rings. Jewellery making tools are scattered around the top of the table. In the background are wooden shelves and a pegboard with various items of jewellery making equipment.
What an absolutely joyous trio of workshops I've had over the past few days!
On Thursday I welcomed a mother and her three daughters who were celebrating a belated Mother's Day by making rings, on Saturday a mother and daughter making bangles (can't believe […]

A wrist displaying three metal bangles: two silver with a hammered finish, one copper which has a hammered finish and a wavy shape.
A wrist displaying three metal bangles: one straight hammered silver, one wavy hammered silver, and one copper with a scalloped shape.
I love all my workshops, but there's something about groups coming together that means they really let go and just completely open themselves up to the experience which is really humbling. Of course the banter is always top notch too!
If you're still sitting […]

Now, more than ever, small independent makers like me REALLY need your help. PLEASE continue to shop with us, especially as we approach the most important time of our business year (for many, the Christmas season is quite literally make or break time), and please understand that these increases […]

Which clearly isn't an option. What's even more worrying is that since doing the calculations the price of silver has continued to rise even further, so whilst I'm hoping these changes will get me to the end of the year, I can't rule out having to do it all again in the coming months. 😳

A collage of various items from the LollaMac jewellery range, featuring earrings and necklaces made of silver, copper and brass.
A little reminder that today is your last chance to buy LollaMac goodies at their current price before I start working through my unavoidable price increases next week. I've spent the last week calculating, crying, recalculating, and slowly accepting that I […]

Using copper and brass, you would cut out tree shapes of your choice, solder on a 'trunk', add texture and patina, and then display them in a wooden base to create your own unique woodland scene.
If this is something you'd love to have a go at, pop a comment below so I can get a gauge of […]

Decorative trees cut from sheets of metal (copper or brass), soldered on to a 'trunk', then inserted in a round wooden base
New workshop idea? 🌲
I'm looking to try and squeeze in a few new workshops in the lead up to Christmas, and decorations is something that's often been asked for. I haven't made any of these trees for a couple of years now but got to thinking they would be a […]

Stack of six rough thick silver discs on the top of a jeweller's peg. The discs are slightly uneven with rounded edges from being pressed rather than cut or stamped.
Apparently necessity is the mother of invention, and so with that in mind and with silver prices being at all all time high, it's time to put my scrap box to good use!
These little patties have been made by melting down my clean silver offcuts, followed by a […]

A selection of necklaces and earrings made of hammered and domed brass, copper and silver, laid out on a plain surface. Around the jewellery pieces are grey jewellery bags, jewellery box, and polishing cloth.
* Price Increases Incoming *
It's a post I really don't want to have to write, but the time has come and I really can't avoid it any longer. Unfortunately the price of silver continues to rise, and along with that I'm afraid my prices are about to rise too […]

A quick look back at my order history shows an eye watering 36% increase in just the past 6 months. 🤯 I hate to do this, especially with Christmas around the corner, but I'm sure you'll understand that at this point it really is unavoidable. Don't worry though, you're not going to see prices go […]

Given that we're now in October, I really can't cling on to summer any longer! With that in mind, and to clear the decks for Autumn (and very soon, dare I say, Christmas 😱) there is now 20% off all remaining stock from this […]

About last night…
I think it's fair to say our first Creative Quarter open evening was a great success. We really didn't know what to expect or whether people would even turn up, but boy you did! I had a wonderful evening catching up with familiar faces, and […]

Earrings, necklace and brooch displayed on a wooden surface. The pieces all feature a rectangular silver back, with the shape of a tree in copper. The trunk of the trees has been cut through both copper and silver using a piercing saw.
Heading home today and preparing myself for a distinctly more autumnal feel to what I've been used to this week! 🍂
As much as I've loved my trip, I'm looking forward to getting home to my boys (both human and canine!) and getting back to the bench tomorrow.

Side view of a woman's face and shoulders. She has blonde shoulder-length hair, and is wearing a dress with a red and white leaf pattern, and thick-framed sunglasses which are reflecting the clear sky. She is wearing matching silver earrings and necklace, both of which feature a silver hoop and a honey-coloured citrine stone.
All good things must come to an end, and tonight is the last night of a fabulous week in gorgeous Kefalonia. 💙
Thanks to my amazing travel buddy Suzie for not only allowing me to indulge in a week of sun, sea and very little else (it's been tough, but we've […]

A large brown and black dog is sitting (just) on a plump dog bed. He's wearing a bandana and a slightly confused look. Behind him are wooden shelves and a pegboard with an assortment of jewellery-making tools and equipment.
