Details of this month’s speaker…

Emma Hall is a UK-based crafter whose personality and work beams like sunshine. When she turned 30 she realised that she has given so much of herself to pursuits that never gave her a chance to express her creativity. Since then she decided to accept her maker’s essence and live the life she wanted.

Emma quit her day job in March 2020 (what timing!) planning to share her happiness and joy with the world she opened her own small ceramics business called Silver Spot Ceramics. She creates all her pottery at home in a little studio. She set out to make unique objects with bright colours.

Emma knits, crochets, sews, quilts, embroiders, sculpts polymer clay and 3D prints. She has channelled all of that creativity, patience and love into her ceramics.

Now approaching 40k followers on Instagram, Emma will share her experience of growing an online business. She will also speak about her passion for creativity, work-life balance, being her own boss and life’s wisdom.

Entrepreneurs’ Network events are offered by Start and Grow Enterprise, a University of Gloucestershire project with funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Start and Grow Enterprise supports the growth of Gloucestershire-based entrepreneurs and start-ups (trading up to 3 years) through free training, events, networks and resources.
