Last weekend, I made my way to Manchester for the GNCCF exhibition. and it was a wonderful experience. The setup process was relatively smooth, and I came away with valuable insights and takeaways for future shows. My work was displayed on the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust stand which featured the 4 othe fantastic craftspeople furniture Sofia Karakatsanis, stained glass Debbie Copley, Jewellery Kumiko Kihara and wet felted paintings Valerie Wartelle.
An opportunity for craftspeople to emerge from our dusty workshops
Craft can be very solitary, but events like this provide an opportunity for craftspeople to emerge from our dusty workshops and engage with fellow craftspeople and enthusiasts. I had many heartwarming interactions, and it made me so happy to see people appreciating the work I had toiled over.

I also had the chance to demonstrate
and show people how I make my work, which provided people with a connection and an understanding of the underrepresented and elusive art of metal forming.
Thanks to Georgia, Louise, and the entire team at the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust. Their support made exhibiting possible and gave me the opportunity to share my passion with a wider audience. It's events like these that breathe life into the craft community, keeping it vibrant and ever-evolving.
I very much enjoyed my time spent in wondeful crafty company at #GNCCF and am looking forward to future exhibitions. I have come away from the exhibition feeling incredibly motivated and excited to make new work.
