reetsweet sheffield: march 10th previews

Hello again reetsweeters!

I always have time for jewellery, don't you? Even when things are tight, I can always spare a few pennies for some nice jewellery! Purveyor of some lovely vintage look pieces is Laura from 'Laura's Lockets' who will be appearing at the March 10th event. Here's a preview of her newest stock and a bit about her...



'My jewellery making started off as a hobby and my desire to make something to wear that no one else was wearing. I’m self taught (with a little help from a few websites and books to start me off!) and my love of charms and crafting has evolved into my business Laura’s Locket Jewellery.

I live and work in Sheffield and have been making jewellery for the last 6-7 years attending many of the Sheffield-based fairs and markets and selling through my website. This tends to keeps my craft addiction at bay but after moving into my first house I am feeling the need for everything to be handmade!'




'I aim to provide a range of pretty vintage inspired jewellery often with a bit of a quirky twist. I love hunting for unusual charms and try to keep ahead of the high street chains (which is certainly a huge challenge!). This usually means spending hours trawling the internet and bead shops and of course my range is full of lockets but I try and find lots of other lovely vintage charms too. My favourites at the moment are my printed lockets and animal charms but I continue to make some of my old favourites as well...'

reetsweet's christmas at sheffield: previews

James Green is one of our favourite artists and has supported reetsweet from our very first fair, come and see his achingly beautiful work at the sheffield fair sunday 27th Nov...

'I'm a printmaker based in Sheffield and I specialise in linocut prints. I've been working in the medium for around eight years, and I'm a little obsessed with it. I produce prints of people, animals, landscapes and the occasional absurd dream. I've produced commissioned work for Domino Records, Paul Smith Menswear, Tramlines Festival and I also run linocut workshops, teaching people how to make prints. Oh, I've also recently produced some mugs with my prints on (with the help of Lianne Mellor), so might bring them along to Reetsweet!'

reetsweet's christmas at sheffield

This winter we are delighted at reetsweet to carry on the work of our friends at craft candy in sheffield and will be at the prestigious millenium gallery near the train station on sunday 27th of this month from 12pm to 4pm! For more details see our events page here.

Meanwhile, we have an incredible amount of maker talent from the next fair to preview to you right here on the blog! We are very proud to introduce hayley wright of born restless...

'Born Restless is a collection of embroidered art and jewellery, made by someone who is trying to live a little better and work a little less. Currently living in Manchester, I make most of the things you’ll see here in my bedroom at night, whilst listening to ghost stories on the radio. I’m inspired by ideas of home and memory, the occult, my regular nightmares, as well as anything else that seems like a great idea at the time.'

We love her work - it's refreshing and modern and very quirky! Check back this week for more previews...
