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.

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 a senior Communications Director and documented the memories and changes he’d experienced in his role over the years.

"Congratulations on an amazing piece of art!! I can't tell you how impressed my wife and I have been and how much I will treasure it for the rest of my life"
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".

10 Year Anniversary Box
"I had commissioned a wedding box as a surprise for my husband for our 10 year wedding anniversary. It is so lovely to see the completed box when I started with just a selection of business cards from different venues. I'm so glad I did this years after the wedding, so that only the really significant items are included. A box full of memories of a very special day."

Nina
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!"

'Together We Achieve More' - Retirement Gift for a Primary School Teacher
'It's been a collaborative affair to produce this memory box. I wouldn't have been able to do it alone. You've interpreted these objects so well, to make something meaningful for me to enjoy. You've definitely achieved more than I could ever have imagined!"

Elaine
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!"

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. "

Roger
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. "
