Top of my to do list this week was heading to the launch of Vanilla Ink's online shop. This real life event allowed a closer look at the collection available online and marked phase 2 of the Vanilla Ink plan. Set up by Kate Pickering, Vanilla Ink aims to help, advise and showcase new jewellery graduates. It started with the website launch in July last year and future plans include a workshop space based in Dundee. Going along on Friday night, I was definitely not disappointed.
On display was work by a number of different jewellery designers, all of which was amazing. The selection offered a diverse look at modern jewellery design, with a range of different materials, influences and price brackets available. I tried my hardest to pick a favourite but, with a selection like this, how could I pick just one?
Ok, so if you put a gun to my head and forced me to pick a favourite piece it would probably be the ring above by Stephanie Bates. I'm not very sure why as it's certainly not my usual style. There is just something about it that made me want to try it on which, in turn, catapulted it to the top of the 'things I'd like to treat myself too and won't be able to stop thinking about until I do' list.
Kate has done an excellent job of bringing together a great selection of jewellery graduates from around the UK. Seeing the craftsmanship of the pieces was extremely inspiring and has given me a desire to get working with metal. I will definitely be watching out for the jewellery night classes that the website promises and am very excited to see what else is hidden up the Vanilla Ink sleeve.
