Designer in Focus :: Jenna Appleton

We love pretty shiny things and Jenna Appleton's jewellery is that and so much more! In her own words "Jewellery satisfies both my need to learn and my need to create objects with my hands. I try to bring an ‘engineered’ perspective to much of what I do, because that’s how my head works… I’m a problem solver first and an artist second."

The engineered approach is evident in the beautiful, precise and simple lines, infused with stunning textures and splashes of colour.

Making Spaces Grand Opening :: cancellation

We have some news regarding our planned Grand Opening – Centre Management have advised Parramatta Council (who were hosting the event) that we (Council/Making Spaces/African Hub) are not permitted to hold a function in the plaza on Thursday 6th October due to public liability concerns. If you have forwarded an invite to anyone, please do let them know.

Whilst this is disappointing news and we were very much looking forward to celebrating, we are absolutely not letting this veto get us down. In lieu of an official opening, we will be hosting a Christmas Shopping Event with lots of wonderful plans, including complimentary seasonal gift wrapping and lucky door prizes. Mark Thursday 1st December in your diary! More details to come closer to the date.

Thanks for your understanding, and thank you again for your commitment to indie design, small self representing businesses and Making Spaces.

Yours in handmade
Kirrily and Kirsten
