The British Craft Trade Show 2012

After a successful show in Harrogate, I'm now deep into getting through the orders that were placed.  I shall list the Duck's new stockists shortly, so keep an eye out for new ones near you! 

 Here's a little peek at part of my display at BCTF 2012.

New 'Cloud' wall pots
-Coming soon-

Some of you lucky people managed to get your hands on some of the first batch of Clouds, but due to the time involved in making these pieces, and the shows I have coming up in the next month, they won't be available online for the moment.  But get in touch with me if you really can't wait!
 

New Stockist Opening

   Come along to the opening evening of latest Duck in a Bucket Designs stockist, Wistow Gallery.  The new gallery will be open to all 6-9pm on 29th March 2012, for a glass of fizz and the first look at the new space and all its wonderous crafty delights. 
The gallery is the only one in the area solely dedicated to stocking and promoting Leicestershire and Rutland-based artists, designer and makers.  You will also be able to meet many of the artists (including me!) on the night.  Hope to see you there!

Classes...

If you are looking for an original gift for someone (or just a fun day for yourself!),  then why not buy a private lampworking class at the Duck in a Bucket studio? Previous glass making experience is not necessary. See 'Tuition' for more information. 
Contact me for available dates and gift vouchers.

Classes are all booked up now until the end of April. Get yours booked today!
Please note that Monday classes are no longer available.

A little bit about Duck in a Bucket Designs...

   Every piece at Duck in a Bucket Designs is individually handmade by Ema Kelly, so no two will be exactly the same, making each one all the more special.  
   Using hot glass techniques, Ema takes inspiration from her surroundings, the outdoors, and even the glass itself, to create her contemporary ranges of homeware, gifts, and jewellery.  She particularly enjoys crafting works that can be displayed back in the environment where the idea was first conceived.  Her use of bold colours combined with her minimalist forms has made her work striking and desirable to an array of clientele.  Her designs sway from playful to elegant, all the time illustrating the tactile fluidity of the material and the vibrancy of colours available. 

   Visit the online shop to take home your very own Duck in a Bucket Designs treat, have a look where you can go to buy work from her in person, or see if there is a stockist near you.

   Perfect for gifts or just to treat yourself, Ema's glass creations are set to inject a splash of colour into anyone's day. 

Thanks for visiting,
