| 10 November 2009 - Local jewellery designer opens gallery in North Somerset | |||
 A specialist designer of fused and lamp worked glass jewellery has opened a studio and gallery in North Somerset.
The work of Claire Hall, founder of Claire Hall Exquisite Jewellery, will be displayed alongside collections by other local designers at the gallery and workshop at 65a West Town Road, Backwell. Claire, a sculptor and glass artist, founded the business in 2004. The company has helped to build its local profile with the support of marketer Lorraine Jones, whose company, Market-Ease Ltd, share the premises. Claire’s pieces can be seen alongside hand made and hand picked glass and silver jewellery by Backwell-based Lorna Cox, Nailsea-based Suzy Hannabus and Somerset designer Penelope Mackreith. “It’s fantastic to be able to celebrate local creativity,” commented Claire. “I'm inspired by the natural world and shells, flowers, pebbles and landscapes are a great influence in my work and that of my fellow designers.” The bespoke pieces can be purchased from the gallery or ordered via the website, www.clairehall.co.uk, but in the run up to Christmas, the company are experiencing particular interest in their specially held jewellery parties. “The jewellery parties are very popular and a great way to meet with friends. They give the chance to buy some really special presents without having to rush around crowded shops,” commented Sam England, Claire’s party organiser. Claire Hall Exquisite Jewellery will be at Nailsea Craft Fair on Saturday 14th November, Fairfield School Christmas Fair on 28th November and Backwell School Christmas Fair on 4th December. The gallery is open Monday to Wednesday from 10 am to 4 pm. To view the collections at other times, or to enquire about booking a party, call Claire or Sam on 01275 464 991.
