Hello Sunshine.

Cheeky little hand painted cabochon, bezel set in silver. Letter punched on setting 🌞

Loved making this one. This is available on our website, and will also be taking it along to @artwavefestival on the first weekend of September.

Hand made and painted clay cabochons, set in a silver bezel.

It's been really fun making these little guys. Come see them in the flesh in Glynde, 5th & 6th September. Venue 25!

Here we are! The Glynde collective for Artwave 2026.

Over the weekend of the 5/6 September, we will be exhibiting our jewellery at Glynde Forge with Tom, who will have some of his incredible sculpture work on display.

Within 100 meters of the Forge, you'll find two group shows.

Firstly, a few doors along, you'll find the 10th anniversary Mud Art show. Curated by Bob Dixon and Lucy Newman, expect to see a collection of contemporary drawing, prints, painting, sculpture and ceramics.

The second group show 'Here Is Where We Meet' is at the old Glynde social club. Curated by artist Kim De Paolis (whose painting features on the cover of this year's Artwave brochure), it brings together a group of local painters who's paths crossed on the inaugural Turps East Sussex mentorship programme.

Then at the Trevor Arms, you'll find a cool pint, and various artists work adorning the walls as part of their Artwave show.

You'll also find artist Rennie Pilgrem exhibiting paintings, print, sculpture and photography on the following weekend of the 12/13 Sept

All of this, only a few minutes walk from Glynde station. It will be lovely to see you there. @artwavefestival

Looking forward to this year's Artwave festival in Lewes and the surrounding area.

We'll once again be with Tom at Glynde Forge, where we'll be showcasing silver, opal and clay pieces.

Alongside us will be Tom with his incredible sculpture work, and other Blacksmithing delights.

You can come and see us over the weekend of the 5th & 6th September. There are also other exhibitors in Glynde that weekend, including the Mud Art show, a few doors along, so definitely worth a visit!

Hope to see you there!

A beautiful walk up on the downs to forage for some fruit. We found this amazing wild plum tree - what a treat!

We've been lucky to have some beautiful opals and Agates to set recently, including this splendid Dentritic Agate.

Have just popped this on the website, along with a few other new opal and clay pieces, which we'll share in our story over the next few days.

'Will this pleasure never end' necklace. I've really enjoyed making this one!
A lovely little saying we picked up from our good friend Robert. Usually dropped in with a 'cheers' after having spent long sunny days walking, swimming, exploring, eating and enjoying a beer together 🌞

Still a favourite design here in the Silver Sapling studio.

Our Men an Tol bracelet, inspired by the historic stones that you can find in Penwith, Cornwall.

We visited this site a number of times whilst living in Kernow. Always a special place up there on the moores amongst the heather.

We've made quite a few for customers over the past few years. Some in silver, some in gold, some a mixture of both, and some with an old family heirloom ring as one of the links. Still going strong!

In love with this stunning Peruvian Opal right now. Very pleased with how the setting came out. A real statement piece.

The hues and colours are like looking down onto a coastal landscape, a rugged coastline meeting the turquoise seas.

We're slowly listing more silver clay pieces on our website, including these three new pieces today.

Including a portrait of a lovely looking fellow, which we couldn't decide was a rabbit or a cat? What do you think?

Also a little Lemon ring. And a larger pendant piece that Ben has made, in the style of some of his artwork.

Link in bio!

We've started using this gorgeously deep yellow glaze on terracotta clay, using the Sgraffito technique to create letters and images.

Inspired by the collection of Sussex Slipware pottery that Ben's dad has collected over the years, most of the pieces date back to Regency and Victorian times.

They are a direct link to the local crafts scene of yesteryear, and often have people's and places names on them. They are beautiful, tangible pieces of local history.

We like to imagine finding one with one of our surnames on, as we both have family lines going back in Sussex hundreds of years.

Just added this sweet pair of Peruvian opal silver studs to the website.

Really beautiful crystal clear details. Like gazing into a lake.

The last pair were sold to a lovely customer of ours up in London. It's always nice to ponder the journey of our pieces once they've left the studio and found a home. Where they'll be worn. Where they'll travel to.
I wonder where this pair will end up!

Snippets from our little wildlife garden ☀️❤️

It's been a real labour of love but we're so happy & grateful for this little space. We can finally sit outside and enjoy a glass of vino in the sunshine

1. Pretty much finished, we just need to tuck some extra plants into the gaps and make a small wildlife pond

2. It's quite amazing how quickly everything has grown since April plus we have blue tits in the new bird box!

3. The plants are just starting to grow - we added tons of topsoil and manure to the beds that we created as the ground is so chalky in Lewes

4. The most exciting stage - actually going to buy some plants with our friend Fran's expert knowledge & supervision to not buy tooooo many. Oh so tempting!!

5. View from our bedroom window

6. The patio is starting to take shape during a rather wet and muddy February. My first time laying a little patio. I was feeling pretty chuffed even though it's fairly wonky. We found some Victorian bricks for free on the wonder that is Marketplace

7. It was VERY satisfying finally brushing the sand in

8. We foolishly thought there might be one layer of paving slabs to take up but in some places they were actually 4 layers deep. Slabs on slabs.....ahhh it was a nightmare. Thankfully we had a hammer drill and people wanted to take them away for free and reuse them. Yay!

9. When we moved in around 15 months ago the entire area was paved.

A recent commission for the loveliest of customers!

The most beautiful Peruvian Opal in a silver setting with handmade chain. Reminiscent of the stunning turquoise colours of the sea on Scilly ❤️☀️

We'll hopefully make another to add to our website soon.

Time to share with you what we've been getting up in the studio recently.

It's been a long journey in the making to get to this point. And now we're ready to show you our new collection of hand painted clay and silver pendants and rings.

Rolled out by hand, painted, glazed and fired. Then set in a silver bezel.

So many ideas have been flowing, and this is the first taste of what's to come.

We've listed an initial small batch on our website, so feel free to have a peek!

Any ideas from Insta land on what else you might like to see?... X
