Christmas Night Market This Thursday!

Hi all!

An early New Years resolution is to use my blog more often!
So to start off I want to let you know about this Thursday's Night Market at Camden Lock Market!
I'll be sharing a stand with Nancy Rose Jewellery for this one night event.
It should be great Christmassy fun and the perfect time to buy gifts or pick out what you want for Christmas and start dropping some big hints!

Here's what they say: 

The Night Market rocks into December with another amazing line up for you. Our glam-tastic Jewellery Quarter takes over the Lower Market Hall with sparkling loveliness, just perfect for Christmas gifts. Take a design-your-own perfume workshop with The Perfume Studio and enjoy Christmas songs with a jazzy vibe played by our jazz quartet. And don't worry about going hungry, with loads of delicious treats on sale from our fabulous food stalls, you'll be spoiled for choice!

Here's where they say it!

Most Wanted

I've joined a group of 5 other designers to take over the beautiful NumberNinetyFour gallery in Columbia Road.

As a collective we're called Most Wanted! It's a beautiful show in a beautiful shop and we're very proud of it, come in and see us!

Most Wanted: Six designer jewellery brands are joining creative forces to open a series of seasonal pop-up shops during 2012. The first of these temporary boutiques takes up residence this Spring at NumberNinetyFour, the well-known jewellery gallery set in the heart of East London’s charming Columbia Road, and runs from 6th - 29th April.

The six brands taking part in the Most Wanted collaboration are: Amy Keeper, Karen Morrison, Katerina Damilos, MIRPURI, Nancy Rose and Poly Philippou. Their latest collections of uniquely designed contemporary jewellery are for sale in the store, showcasing versatile pieces that suit every style and budget and can be worn from day to evening.

The boutique opens between 11.00am - 6.00pm on Saturday, 10am - 5.00pm on Sunday, and on weekdays by appointment. The designers behind the participating brands will be available to discuss their work and private commissions.

I've been featured in TimeOut with my handmade bouquet pendants, which can be personalised to hold a photograph of your loved ones, to keep with you on your special day .

Approx 3cmx2cm, the pendant is made from sterling silver, with a silver beaded effect around the setting and a flower print texture on the reverse. Your photograph is set behind a rock crystal cabochon. Hung from an ivory ribbon this pendant can then be tied around your bouquet for your wedding day. It will make a beautiful keepsake of your big day or you can add a chain and wear it as a pendant.

To have your pendant personalised, scan in the photograph you wish to use, at 300dpi, or post to me for scanning and I will return it. The copy will then be resized to add to the pendant and your photograph will not be harmed.

Each pendant is £100 including P&P.

Cufflinks can also be personalised. Sterling silver with a vintage effect setting and approx 1.5cm round, your photograph is set beneath a rock crystal cabochon.

You can have the same image in each cufflink or a different one on either arm.

Cufflinks are £160 including P&P

These make a perfect gift for a special occasion.

If you would like to order a bouquet pendant or cufflinks, or for more details please contact me by email at:amykeeperjewellery@gmail.com or by telephone on 07989744869.

Go, Go, Go!!!

Hi all Sorry it's been so long but I've had a very busy start to the year!

I have my new 'Spyglass' range which is coming along nicely. Inspired by a spyglass in a children's book I have been working on a range of jewellery based on spyglasses. All sterling silver that's been gold and black rhodium plated, this range still has a vintage feel, and I hope shares a sense of narrative and time with my vintage postcard range. Let me know what you think!

I also have news of 3 upcoming shows which I'll soon be adding listings for individually. Firstly Made in Clerkenwell at the end of May, then a group exhibition at Craft Central as part of London Jewellery week at the beginning of June, then mid June my first wedding show at Craft Central's Get Hitched!

So it's shaping up to be an exciting summer, I hope to see you at one of my shows, I'll put details up as soon as possible!

Made 10

This week is Made 10 in Brighton's Corn Exchange, which if last year was anything to go by will be a lovely show once again. It's a great craft fair with a wide range of exhibitors including boat builders, artists, clothes makers, and jewellery. It's the perfect place to kick start your christmas shopping!

MADE10 returns to the beautiful Corn Exchange in the heart of Brighton offering the public the opportunity to buy original and exceptional design and craft from the best local and national makers. It also provides space for the designer / makers to sell direct to the public and to build a relationship with buyers, potential buyers, galleries and craft suppliers.
