Athene Sholl Jewellery – Autumn Studio Party 26th September

by | Sep 12, 2023

AUTUMN STUDIO PARTY – 26th September from 5-8pm.

Qwerky Cottage will be open and dressed with lots of autumnal vibes and fabulous jewellery. We’ll also have nibbles and drinks (the perfect accompaniment to an evening in the studio).

It’s the perfect opportunity to see what’s new in the studio and have a nose around to see where it all happens. Looking forward to seeing you all for a catch up.

You’ll see all our new collections – including our new luxe plectrums, our brand new hand engraved lichen and RENEWAL collection pendants and also new versions of our stunning waterfalls made with our new favourite luxe precious and semi precious stones – all celebrating the wonkiness of nature.

See you on the 26th. x x x

Then Vs Now – An Evolution of Athene’s Artwork

Then Vs Now…

School’s out for Summer! It’s the end of term wahoo – and here’s a throwback to our own college graduation days.

Where we started, and what we do now are so different, and yet so interconnected. We have soooo many strands of this little business, and no two days are the same, sometimes we’re making christening gifts and working on restrained classic bridal pieces in recycled metals, the next day we might be making bonkers recycled plastic earrings with a colourful vibe. Then we’ll move on to some Guernsey themed pieces, perfect mementos of a fabulous holiday or childhood with bucket and spade in hand, again all recycled materials. We might be working on a capsule collection for a boutique with a fashion following, but then the next day we might be producing something extremely niche for a museum shop or exhibition. B17 Bombers and the Beatles are two very recent examples, again, both with recycled materials.

There is a theme emerging here – and when Athene had to write a statement for her graduation, many moons ago, it centered around 4 themes, or strands to the work. Colour, repetition, movement and recycling. We think we’ve built on those 4 themes, picking up various strands at different times and weaving them together over the last three decades, sometimes connecting one or two, sometime bringing together all 4. That’s where the magic happens.

It does make for a hectic studio environment, and a hectic life, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Perhaps it helps having a certain type of brain. We’d like to say we’re planning a relaxing holiday this summer, but you know that’s never gonna happen, right?

A Taste of Spring

A Taste of Spring

A Taste of Spring by Athene Sholl 
The rain and hail has finally stopped, possibly just for a few hours – who knows? We even saw just a hint of a pink sunset last night. And the birds tweeted, very very faintly – just for a short while. Spring is on the way…
It really did feel like a sign that light was at the end of the tunnel. But of course we have still have 2 more loooooong weeks of January to get through yet. And then February – sigh. And then the weather will be up and down a million times, teasing us with hints of light and warmth. Then will come the fool’s spring, when cardigans will be cast aside, and sweaters packed away, in false hope, before winter descends again, like a shroud. To catch us all out. Then come the spring coughs and colds as the lymph changes direction and makes us all feel wrong. Rinse and repeat throughout March, and then suddenly – there we are in actual real live spring, birds singing, sun on our faces, clocks changing and we really feel alive again.
But we don’t have to wait until then – grab a slice of spring from our necklace selection. These gorgeous pieces were on display at the Coach House Gallery – and due to the gallery closing this week, (another sigh) we’ve got them lined up in the studio for you, Just when we all need a boost. Ping us a message if one takes your fancy
