Craft and Design Magazine

I was so pleased when my latest issue of 'Craft & Design' magazine arrived because my work is featured in the Makers Gallery! Fame at last!

(Craft & Design Magazine Sept/Oct 08)

Even better was that someone emailed me to tell me that they had seen a copy in the bookshop and recognised my designs.

Today is a good day:) Enjoy!

Up and running...

So after a little fine tuning the website is ready for action.
You can take a looksie at http://www.leighshepherddesigns.com - have a virtual glass of bubbles to celebrate :)


Todays pics are of a Mah Jong set I have just started working with. The tiles are vintage, I believe 1970s, but have only been played with a few times.I love the colour and detail on them!

Lookie, Lookie, Lookie....

Crimson Starburst

This is one of the pieces from my Chinese Tile range. Originally I was using small round tins. I liked them but wanted something more. I got a push to really look around when my supplier said he wasn't sure he could continue to source the tins.

I am sooo much happier with these lovely glass jars. They have a satisfying weight to them and are gorgeously glossy. I'm also very happy with the way the glazes fill the whole surface of the lid.

A great treat for yourself or a gift for friends.

Minnie's Violets

So named as my Nana, Minnie, loved these little flowers.

Both of these pendants can be seen in the Heart Gallery, Hebden Bridge.
