Over this last week we have completed our first Trade Fair. It was certainly an experience and we have learnt so much! Harrogate is a beautiful place and I look forward to returning again next year from the BCTF - yes we've already decided to do it again! We made lots of amazing connections and have a new stockist - The Doghouse Gallery, Comber, Northern Ireland. We will be sending out their order ready for the Festive season, you can find our products there from September.

REBRAND: Catherine Gray Origami!
08/01/2016
JewelOri is now.... Catherine Gray Origami!
I feel that this encapsulates what I do much better! I have moved away from doing just origami jewellery and needed a name to reflect this and my products. Gray is going to be my married name come September so it seemed right to include it in my business - especially as Mr Gray helps out so much, he had to be a part of it!
There will be lots of changes and new products to look out for. This includes new DIY origami kits which will be launched at the British Craft Trade Fair in April! I will be on stand 133.
My new email address for enquiries and orders is: [email protected]

JewelOri has just received a their order of beautiful Nepalese Lokta paper. This paper is made from the lokta (Daphne Papyrus) bush which grows in the Himalayas at altitudes of 2000 to 3000 metres. It is a renewable resource as the plant regrows from the same root system.
