MEMORY BOXES : SPECIAL OCCASIONS
Capturing a special time or occasion isn’t always easy. There are so many different elements and moments that make that time unique. My special occasion boxes bring together treasured objects that represent moments in time, so you can perfectly capture a childhood, an anniversary, or even a whole career. 
​
Take a look at some examples below, or get in touch if you’d like to talk further.
Childhood Memories Box
This gorgeous commission was made for a customer who wanted to celebrate her daughter's 11th birthday. Every object represents a sentimental memory from her daughter’s childhood - including her first shoes to her favourite books. It was a joy to make and I love the fact that this thoughtful gift will last a lifetime.
25 Years at Microsoft
This is a memory box commissioned by Microsoft. It was a retirement gift for the Head of UK PR and documented the memories and changes he’d experienced in his role over the years.
The Box of Delights - based on a book by John Masefield
"Katherine created the box of delights for my wife, Caroline’s birthday. This was her favourite childhood book and I wanted Katherine to bring it to life in her art. 

The final product was amazing and the attention to detail was superb. Caroline says it is the most special thing she has ever received because it recreates her favourite book and adds a new dimension to her memories of childhood. 

Katherine’s attention to detail and communication at every stage made me really feel part of the creative process. It was so exciting to finally see the completed piece and I will never forget my wife’s face on unwrapping this special and unique creation".

80th Birthday Box
"I ordered this box for my grandmother’s 80th birthday and she absolutely loved it! Katherine was able to incorporate personal belongings as well as some of her favourite items. She was over the moon and couldn’t wait to put it up on display. Diolch Katherine!"

Charles Darwin Box for Roger
“I like collecting small objects and knick-knacks but then despair of the clutter I create. I saw Katherine's boxes and thought this might be a way of displaying some of the fossils and plastic dinosaur trash I've been collecting since childhood. 

We put our heads together on displaying some of the famous images associated with Charles Darwin and his work. This box is now on the wall at the top of my stairs and it cheers me up every time I pass it. "

Box for Jak

“As soon as I saw Katherine's beautiful boxes, I knew I had found the ideal gift for my nephew Jak who lost his sight when he was 15. I made a list of things that Jak is passionate about, e g. rugby, Wales, his guide dog and lots more. Katherine included me at all stages, exchanging emails with ideas and photographs as the box developed.

Jak loves his box, it is tactile and reflects his life and passions. In fact everyone loves it!"

Alison
Ruby Anniversary Box
​
“My whole family was delighted with the Ruby Anniversary box Katherine created for my parents. Using a mix of objects we gave her and beautiful pieces she made herself, she created a truly special and personal memento that they will always treasure.
​ 
We didn’t really know where to start with the box but Katherine guided us through the whole process, helping us with initial ideas and keeping us informed every step of the way. I can’t recommend Katherine enough: it was a pleasure working with her from start to finish."

Emma
Library Box

" Katherine did a wonderfully imaginative and crafted 'library box' for a member of staff who was leaving the library service. She helped us realise our ideas and created a fabulous gift which was both personal and inspired. What's more she did it at very short notice. A big thank you. "
