Second careers...
Since leaving my life in the wonderful Talent team at OMG, there have been moments of doubt as to whether I had lost the plot by giving up my job to follow my passion. It has however been a really interesting time of throwing myself full throttle into learning more about jewellery design and making and setting up a business. In the last 8 months:
I've completed an Intermediate Jewellery certificate, passing with distinction.
Won first prize in a competition with an up and coming jewellery gallery - Silver and Steel Studios, (https://www.silverandsteelstudios.co.uk/). From September some of my jewellery will be showcased and for sale in their gallery in Bristol.
Finished the first iteration of my website, https://shirleynelsonjewellery.com
Been selected for a programme designed to help emerging businesses in the creative space, organised by Cockpit Studios (https://cockpitstudios.org/apply/creative-enterprise-programme/).
I look forward to seeing what happens in the next 8 months!
