Spotlight on the seller - Contemporary Enamels by Shelley Lodge
Shelley Lodge graduated from Huddersfield University in
2012 with a first class honours degree in Art and Design.
During her degree she
specialised in enamelling and now makes a wide range of contemporary enamelled
items including, jewellery (pendants, cuffs, earrings, bracelets, brooches) as
well as wall art, miniature abstract landscapes, accessories and decorations.
The enamelling process involves fusing glass to copper in a kiln at around 900
degrees; due to the nature of this process, all items are unique, as well as
100% handcrafted. Although the art of enamelling is thousands of years old, Shelley
aims to be innovative in her approach to enamelling, creating contemporary
pieces.
Her overall intention is to create usable or wearable, unique pieces of
abstract art, through the media of enamelling. Shelley’s work can be seen at
Fabrication, The Light Shopping Centre Leeds as well as at art trails, artisan
fairs and art markets throughout the region.

Spotlight on the seller - The Seasonal Larder
The Seasonal Larder
grow local - preserve local - think global
We produce handmade preserves inspired by and made from local & seasonal fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs, Our range varies throughout the year but includes:
Cordials & Syrups
Jellies & Jams
Relishes
Fruit Sauces
Fruit Ketchups & Savoury Sauces
Dried Fruits
The main ingredients for all our products are always grown within 50 miles of our base in LS25. We get our fruit, vegetables, herbs & flowers from a mix of commercial growers, wild food and swapping with people who have grown more in their garden or allotment than they can use.
We take this approach because we believe that with the increasing pressures on food production around the world, it just makes sense to use as much as possible of the fantastic and varied produce that grows all around us.
