The run up to Christmas gave me a chance to meet some lovely Dundee based jewellers, all thanks to Time Boutique. In the run up to the big day they hosted a number of pop up shops, allowing designers and makers to take over a table in the shop and talk to customers about their work. You may remember my post all about Karen Smith's beautiful jewels, as she kicked off the whole season of pop up events. Unfortunately I didn't manage to make it along to all them but I had a jolly good time at those I did get to. Not only was there fizz and sweet treats at each occasion, but I also managed to chat to some cheery designers, whose faces I recognised but had never actually met before.
One of the events I did make it to was the Syrah Jay pop up. I've always admired the selection of her felt creation in the DCA so it was nice to see a fuller range of pieces and meet the lady herself. She creates a wide variety of felt and cork pieces, all using wonderfully bright colours paired with simple shapes. I love the statement necklaces which are eye-catching, yet infinitely wearable. I also really enjoyed the way she'd displayed her items, adding to the joyful feel with bold frames and fake grass.
Did you make it along to any of the Time pop ups? What do you think of Syrah Jay's colourful designs? Looking at these photos is certainly cheering up my cold January days.
