Studio Assistant Needed

----Thanks everyone! The response has been amazing. I've found someone now, all my problems are solved!----

It's time! I've been running this ol' jewellery business for two years or so now, and it's been awesome, but it's also gotten a bit out of hand. I can no longer run it as a one-woman show: I need an assistant, or an intern - basically I need some help help help.

Interested? Or know anybody who might be? Send 'em my way.

jewellery studio I'm looking for somebody either one day a week, or, better yet, two half-days a week. It'd be working on various different things - part of it would be working on fulfilling and packaging orders, collecting items from casters and jewellery suppliers, managing some administrative aspects, and help with making and finishing the jewellery itself.

I think & hope this would be pretty useful experience for anybody interested either in making jewellery, or in running a small craft-based business. It'll be quite hands-on and you'll see and help with every aspect of the business, so I hope it'll be valuable. Last thing I want is someone stuck doing something tedious.

So I need somebody organised and quick to learn - experience making jewellery is a plus but not essential. You probably do need to be fairly crafty and good with your hands, though! And you'd need to be computer and web-savvy, and if you have any other particular skills (photography, writing, etc) I'm sure we can make 'em count. Payment is going to be somewhat dependant on experience, but there'll be none of that unpaid internship nonsense.

And needless to say, you'd need to be based in London. My studio's in Dalston/Hackney Downs.

Shoot me an email if you're interested. Let's make some stuff!

Cat Encounters

Dear friends! I have a new and very serious project to share with you. By new, I mean that I started it in 2010, but it's newly compiled online. So here's the crux of the thing: I photograph every cat that I see. Even if the photos are no good. It's pretty academic.

You can check it out here: catencounters.tumblr.com

Sausage dogs

Sometimes you really just want to make serious, thought-provoking artworks. Here are some of mine. One of them is extra long. You can buy them in my shop.

Big Sur

We took a road trip from LA up to San Francisco, through Big Sur. It was incredible. Here is proof.

Yup, I'm still posting drawings of things in France. Everything was just so perfect. These are utensils from the kitchen.

Drawing at night

Woof, it's been a long time. I've been travelling, mainly on jewellery business, so a little more has been going on over on the Datter blog. I got home yesterday after 16 hours in transit. Very jetlagged. But today is my dad's birthday, so I drew him this. Simple. Drawing at night, which I guess I'll be doing for a while til I adjust to GMT.

Inside the Roquebrune flat

roquebrune flat

Here's another drawing I did in Roquebrune. I really love this flat. Every item in it seems carefully chosen. I took a lot of photos of the interior too, they show it much better than my drawings could. Paintings by my grandma, my grandpa's bicycle. Drawings and artworks given to them by their friends. Miniatures (my grandma loved them). Simple, subtle, functional objects.
