If you are looking for unique and exclusive, handmade accessories and jewelleries, then you should
visit the Katy Day Designs online store.
Katy Day, the heart and soul
behind the brand, studied Art at College and University, and as she says: “I have always had a huge space in my heart for all things
creative…painting, working with different media, trying out new techniques and
learning from others and taking inspiration from what I see and experience
around me.”
Katy Day’s story is an incredible and inspirational
one. She started making jewellery more than 10 years ago, when she was pregnant
with her second child, and whilst taking time out from teaching. Initially, Katy
made them for herself, for friends and family, and eventually to sell to customers.
Her style has evolved and changed constantly over
the years, depending on what she experiences around her, and the new techniques
that she is learning and developing. This has kept her customers coming back to
find out what new things she has created, and also keeps her interested, and
her designs exciting. During all these years, Katy has tried all sorts…wire
wrapping, beading, metal work, fabric, to name but a few.
But Katy’s story doesn’t end here. Katy has a
strong faith which has always been a source of inspiration to her, and this strong
faith comes out in several areas of her work pictures, cards, and more recently
in fabric bracelets.
Katy loves people and she has gained new ideas from
their suggestions and enthusiasm. As her business has grown and expanded into
other areas like the cards and wooden hearts and pictures, Katy has also been
able to bring her ever-patient and supportive husband on board. He is a printer
by trade, and he is a practical man who cuts out all her wooden hearts, and
sands them down for her.
For a long time Katy sold her work through parties and at craft fairs, and she still loves doing this. This gives her the opportunity to meet her customers face to face, and watch them try on items that she has spent hours on. However, customers from all over the UK and the rest of the world, now have the opportunity to acquire her unique designs, through her online store.
