Karen from Ruby Jones Jewellery visited the gallery to give a talk on her beaded jewellery. Her journey started after picking up a kit and getting hooked. As time went by she became proficient in making pieces of jewellery and took the brave step to leave accountancy and set up her own business. Today she produces hand woven and beaded necklaces, bracelets and earrings. She will undertake commissions and designs all her own pieces. Beaded jewellery is extremely time consuming in its construction. Karen brought various samples of her work for sale and I purchased one of her necklaces in turquoise and gold. A buffet lunch was provided by Jo Cousin.
