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.
