So here we are first post! This blog is about my work, hobbies and other general snippets from my life.
First things first...introductions. My name is Lucy, I'm a metal clay artist living and working in Suffolk. I have a full time day job but spend most of my spare time making jewellery and dabbling in other crafts. I discovered metal clay last year and was amazed by what seemed like a modern form of alchemy... since then I have become passionate not just about making jewellery but all crafts and the amazing and talented people I have met since jumping into the craft world head first!
I have always enjoyed being creative and come from a family full of artists and crafty people. My mother creates the most fantastic pieces of cross stitch, my sister can work magic with a sewing machine, my aunty created
Butterscotch & Beesting and my grandparents are incredibly talented potters, My grandmothers work can be found here
Hanne Westergaard. My family have been very supportive in helping me find my creative outlet. My partner deserves a special mention here for putting up with my crafting obsessions!
I opened my Etsy shop at the end of last month and have been very pleased with the success I have had. It's an amazing feeling knowing that someone has seen your item and liked it enough to buy it and not just people from the UK but from all over the world! I got very excited when I posted out my first order to the U.S!
When I'm not working on my jewellery or have my nose stuck in craft books deciding what project to take on next I'm always busy taking care of my animals I have always had a love of all creatures big and small, and I'm always kept company by my four lovable but very naughty cats!

Lucy.
