On December 1st and 2nd the Dorset Team will be running a big Christmas Fair at the Allendale Centre in Wimborne which will be full of local makers and sellers who are part of the Dorset Team and sell their wares on Etsy.com. The fair is on for 2 days and set over two rooms of the Allendale Centre.
In the lead up to the event we will be sharing some of the makers and sellers who will be stallholders at the event.
Today's featured stallholder is Sue from Endless Summer Silver who is a jewellery maker based in Christchurch who sells handmade styling and eco silver jewellery sets with vintage surfite.
Sue works from her small workshop at home which is not far from the sea in Christchurch.
She is currently working on a range which uses vintage Australian surfite. Surfite is the excess resin that layers up on a surfboard shapers workshop floor. When the colours come together on the floor, they make amazing combinations of patterns and colours and Sue uses this surfite in her jewellery.
She says " I love the fact that the surfite I use is vintage and that I am recycling something that would have otherwise gone to waste; as of 2018 all the silver that I purchase to make my jewellery is Eco silver and will come with a certificate of authenticity. Recycle ~ Reuse ~ Reduce"
Sue spends a lot of time at the beach and says when she is not at home creating pieces of jewellery she can be found walking on the beach with her workshop buddy, Buster, her 10 year old working cocker spaniel.
1. She grew up in Dorset by the sea and has eaten her fair share of sand sandwiches!
2. She says she is am happiest when at the beach and has recently taken up paddleboard yoga.
3. She has been lucky enough to visit many countries but her favourite place in the world is Hengistbury Head, Dorset.
Please do put Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd of December in your diary for the Dorset Team Christmas Fair. Sue will be selling on Sunday only so if you want to come and see her, you will need to come on the Sunday (or why not come on both Saturday and Sunday!). There will be 60 stalls each day with some stallholders selling one day only like Sue and others selling for both the Saturday and Sunday.
The Allendale in Wimborne is super easy to get to and there are council run car parks surrounding the venue which make parking super easy.
