Bilston Craft Gallery Showcase

A selection of my latest jewellery collection 'Ruffles' is on display at Bilston Craft Gallery from 15th March until 4th June. The inspiration behind the collection is one of the latest fashion trends of folding: pleats and gathers are reinterpreted in silver using corrugation and microfolding. These techniques allow to achieve a great variety of forms with minimal use of precious metal. It has a fresh look and blends well with the new designs in fashion.

Dilyana has been accepted to feature in the upcoming Lark Craft publiction - Chains Chains Chains.
The book will appear in the stores in the fall of 2011 so keep an eye for it.

Dilyana starts work on a new collection which will be launched at the BCTF at Harrogate (3-5 April)

The Cable Tree Project

I was involved in a project by BTCV Vinvolved an organisation which provides exciting volunteering opportunities for young people aged 16-25 covering the whole of the Dudley Borough to create a Cable Tree message board for Summit House Support - a charity providing a safe environment for people affected by and living with HIV/AIDS in Dudley and Sandwell.
It happened on 21 January with a group of six very hard working volunteers from the Glasshouse College in Stourbridge. My role was to provide them with artistic guidance, teach them new skills and inspire them to see and use materials in a new conext.

FLUX - meet the designers

As part of FLUX exhibition, I will be at MAC on Saturday 4 December between 12 and 3pm where you could come and find out more about my work and inspirations and ask questions about my jewellery. Hope to see you there!

Only a few days to go until FLUX opens

After such a long night and a very early morning on Monday - all the displays and jewellery was finished!

I enjoy the moment of setting up an exhibition and trying to find a memorable way of displaying the jewellery, a way which will not distract but emphasise the beauty of it. Here is a little preview what to expect at FLUX where I will be exhibiting pieces which have never been seen before -  made especially for the exhibition. Only a few days to go until is all open - make a note in your diary and don't forget to be at MAC, Birmingham on Saturday 27 November! It will be an amazing exhibition!
