When Shetlander Roy Leask appeared in my workshop carrying a Viking shield, sword and axe, I knew this was going to be no ordinary day! I was delighted to be approached by Roy back in 2007 about designing a collection of jewellery to commemorate the 2008 Up Helly Aa festival in Shetland.  I was lucky enough to be invited to the celebrations which take place on the last Tuesday of January every year. A truly amazing spectacle!
