Recent blog posts on lottedemey.com http://www.lottedemey.com/blog http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/119http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/119Last sunday, we took part for the first time in the Belgian Day of Crafts. It was a huge succes. We had a 100 visitors! Thank you all for passing by our gallery! A while ago we had a visit from a blogger of I love BELGIUM. The article that appeared about the gallery is not completely correct, but we are happy to be on their website anyway. Would you like to read more, take a look at I love BELGIUM. Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:56:00 -0800http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/118http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/118There is one aspect of designing jewelry that I really hate and that is the 'taking pictures' part. I find it so incredibly difficult and I am never satisfied with the result. Collaborating with a photographer for every new collection is not recommandable from a financial perspective ... so there is nothing else to do, than to give it another try. There are two brand new collections coming up and I am once again looking up more information about photography. For those of you who have the same problem, the web site TABLE TOP STUDIO is a real winner! The gallery is doing well, the new workshop programme is ready ... time to work on a new webshop! I didn't update it for the last year, what a shame.Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:55:00 -0800http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/117http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/117Valentine is coming, time for a new display in our gallery, including new designs!

You can take a look behind the scene on sunday 5th of February from 11h untill 18h. Nathalie and me will be giving demonstrations in different jewelry techniques throughout the day. You can find all information here.Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:30:00 -0800http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/115http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/115Last year I received a very special order. A mom who lost her daughter asked me to make a pendant in which her daughter's hair would be visible. I needed quite a while to think about it and do a little research. But I recently finished it and here is the result. The hair is protected by a little glass plate. Everything is kept in place by a setting of little forget-me-not's. The second jewel is a ring I made for my sister-in-law. Actually, it is the first jewel from a new collection. I have been working on it for a long time, always in between other jobs. I'll show the rest of the pictures when the whole collection is finished! Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:08:00 -0800http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/114http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/114The new program is ready! This year we offer you 32 workshops. There are 9 new topics such as enamel, granule, chasing, an open studio for lost wax, and silverclay. We also offer a first workshop for children. This year all workshops are taught by Nathalie and myself. The registration works a bit different now. You register directly through the website and you pay the full fee upon registration. We also propose a new concept: "Jewel with brunch." We will invite 3 designers to join us for a brunch in the gallery. This offers you a unique way to get to know the designer and his work. A maximum of 7 students can participate. Who will be coming and when...we're still keeping a secret for now! Read are newsletters very carefully!Fri, 13 Jan 2012 08:17:00 -0800http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/113http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/113Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:11:00 -0800http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/112http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/112I haven't had a lot of time to keep the blog updated since the opening of the gallery.
