Another day, and more crafters to introduce you to!
This afternoon we are showcasing Jackie of Kerameeks Crafts . Like Pauline of Red Dog Studio this morning, Jackie already has some of her work on sale at Harts Barn Craft Centre. Her fused glass necklaces can currently be found in The Mystical Cat and some of her ceramic and earthenware pots in The Lavender Stone Florist .
Jackie started her hobby in ceramics during the 2020 lockdown with it quickly
becoming a primary interest, encompassing both hand building and wheel throwing. With her Clay types ranging from earthenware through stoneware to raku, fired in electric, raku, and phoenix wood fired kilns. She didn't stop there though with her craftiness - over the past year, she self-taught in watercolours through books and online tutorials, and found that watercolour painting offers a portable and calming creative outlet. Last year, it heavily influenced the making of Christmas cards and gifts. And then if that wasn't enough Jackie took to glass fusing. A microwave kiln handles smaller glass pieces, while larger works go into the ceramic kiln. Jewellery is the current focus, and there is particular satisfaction in crafting pendants and glass “crystals” by hand — an approach that allows for complete creative freedom and experimentation with new techniques.
Jackie might be retired from her former career but she certainly keeps busy with all her artistic hobbies!. We already know that Jackie's makes are beautiful but you'll get an opportunity to see them for yourself at the Craft Fayre next Wednesday, 22nd July from 4pm.
Come along and support all of our small local businesses and crafters here at Harts Barn Craft Centre. We look forward to welcoming you 🤗
