What's New in Dazzle Exhibitions
Summer is now well and truly here and we are enjoying plenty of Kentish cherries and strawberries and perhaps the chance to beachcomb and find some lovely pebbles, such as the ones used in Grace Girvan's striking pebble and enamel pendants.In reality we are hard at work preparing for our Edinburgh Festival exhibition in August.We have now chosen most of the main exhibitors for our Christmas Dazzles at the National Theatre in London and the Town Hall in Manchester. We always leave places open for recent graduates and we have discovered some exciting new talents to introduce to you in our Christmas shows. Their details will be appearing on the site over the next few weeks.
We have now started a Dazzle blog, which we hope to develop over the coming months. Hopefully we will be able to involve some of our regular buyers and it will evolve into a useful resource and a way of keeping you up to date on what is happening in our world. So far we haven't managed to get very far with showing our collection as it all takes quite a lot of time. We will be giving some of our Festival suggestions for shows and eateries- so stay tuned.
