This is by far, my busiest year as a glass artist with Christmas orders coming in thick and fast. Its not a bad problem to have but given all my pieces are completely handmade by me, it is a very time consuming process. This is where, as a jewellery designer, many people compromise attention to detail and overall quality, just to churn out as much product as possible.
This is something I feel strongly about - making sure no pieces leave my care without ensuring that the best possible result is achieved. Invariably that means that I cannot carry the stock volume that you would find in shops. But I always tell my customers, isn't it great that you are wearing something completely unique that will last for many years.
So, the long and short of it is yes, this week is my last week for all custom Christmas orders so that there is sufficient time to get everything done to a high standard. I still have a few items in stock but if you can't decide what to get, there's always the option of a gift voucher. When the rush of Christmas is over, the recipient can come in and chose the glass colours & style of jewellery they like so you are guaranteed to get it right - it's the perfect gift!
Merry Christmas to everyone :)
