My journey with wood began back in 1998 when I joined a company specialising in wooden flooring. I fell in love with the touch, texture and smell of the different wood types we worked with. Over the years that appreciation turned into a hobby. In my spare time, I used scraps destined for the log burner and created tea light holders for the table and...

I have been on such a journey and never in a million years thought I would end up selling my photos. About 12 years ago I wanted to learn photography to take photos of the local area to put up in my house. I am mainly self taught with a few helpers along the way, the biggest YouTube. Probably, my biggest challenge, was for someone who was in their 50s...

Jewellery Press Images for UK Journalists
Finding good jewellery images for an article is not always as simple as it sounds. Product photographs may be too small, unclear about ownership or supplied without usable credits and editorial permissions. Lena Cohen Jewellery has created a dedicated Press and Media Image Library for journalists, editors, writers and other genuine editorial publications...
How to Find a Good Independent UK Jewellery
Where can I find a good independent UK jeweller? Start with craft focused platforms rather than general shopping directories. Sites such as UKCraftFairs are built around makers, handmade work and smaller creative businesses, so independent jewellers can be easier to find than in search results dominated by national chains. Search for exactly what...
From Crafting Hobby to Sophies Stitches
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved being creative. Crafting started as something I could enjoy in my spare time, especially around my job as a flight attendant. With a busy lifestyle, crafting gave me something completely different to focus on. It became my little escape — something I could sit down and enjoy, wherever I was. What started...

A cuddly handmade mohair rabbit
This is a handmade soft rabbit made from mohair, with fully jointed limbs that can be posed a few different ways.

Modern Pearl Earrings That Feel Different
How do you make pearl earrings look modern? Pearls themselves have not changed. The way they are worn has. Traditional pearl jewellery often relies on matched studs, symmetrical pairs and formal styling. Modern pearl earrings use the same natural material in different proportions, placements and settings. Start with size, not tradition There is...
Not Everything You Feel Needs a Diagnosis
You sit down at the end of the day, and from a purely external perspective, nothing is demanding your attention anymore. The tasks have been completed, the environment has quietened, and there is no immediate requirement to respond, decide, or act. Yet internally, the system does not mirror this change. Attention continues to move, thoughts remain active,...
The Psychology of Scent
Scent is often treated as decorative. A pleasant addition, a finishing touch, or a background detail. From a psychological perspective, scent is far from a background detail. It actively influences how we feel, remember, and focus. Among all the senses, smell has one of the most direct pathways to the brain’s emotional and memory systems. It bypasses...
Handcrafted 18k Gold Gemstone Necklace Made in UK
What should you check when buying a natural gemstone necklace? A product photograph can show the design, but with natural gemstones it may not show the exact stone you will receive. Is the gemstone natural? Check whether the description says natural, lab-grown or synthetic. With coloured gemstones also ask about treatments where relevant. Natural...
Made in London Not Just Designed in London
What does made in London mean in jewellery? Jewellery descriptions often use London in different ways. A brand may be based in London, design its jewellery in London, manufacture it there, or simply send finished pieces to the London Assay Office for hallmarking. Those are not the same thing. Designed in London This tells you where the design work...
Why craft fairs?
The UK is without doubt one of the most creative and diverse places on Earth.
The talent of makers and artists needs a release, a channel that allows both new and experienced people the chance to market and sell their work. They also need to network with their peers to exchange ideas and experiences. The craft fair can be that channel. It challenges people, it inspires and motivates people to do better and more.
Supporting your local craft fairs as a visitor and purchaser, helps to grow the community and encourage further creative, social and community wealth.
