ABOUT THE CREATOR
I'm Hannah, the creative force behind this handmade business. I continuously create new products every month; shoot all the photography, manage all social media platforms, attend pop up markets and even update this webpage on a weekly basis.
Blue Pig began back in 2019 when I decided to leave university, with initially no plan and unsure of my future. However, I have always had a passion for creating but never considered it as a career. It was this passion that drove me to start selling my creations online. Interest and sales grew slowly, but in the right direction, with amazing customer feedback and a handful of regular customers, I knew I wanted to create something of my own, and that’s how Blue Pig was made. I chose to call my business 'Blue Pig' in memory of my pig called Blue. The past few years have been an exciting journey. I have discovered an amazing network of like-minded people and attended markets and agricultural shows. Everything up to this point has been self-taught and I am proud of every product created.
Most of my products are predominantly inspired by the countryside. However, most recently, my sister was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive type of breast cancer; known as Inflammatory Breast Cancer. To show my support, I have dedicated a special collection to not only raise awareness of the disease, but to also raise money for the charity that is helping her. I am committed to giving back and making a difference in our world.
I was 'made to create' and I'm sure there are others out there, just like me - who love and appreciate all things craft and nature.

ABOUT OUR METALS
At Blue Pig we take pride in what we create and what we make our creations from. As a metalsmith its important for us to understand how metals behave and most importantly what is save to use.
Here is a little overview of what our products are made from and why we have chosen the use them.
Aluminium
Aluminium is soft and extremely lightweight and can be easily manipulated.
Light weight, flexible, versatile, doesn't rust, easy to clean, eco-friendly, looks like sterling silver and is accessible/less expensive to alternative metals.

Sterling Silver 92.5%
Sterling silver is made up of pure silver 92.5% and 7.5% copper. The copper mix makes the silver more durable and resistant to scratches and bending.

Copper is extremely durable and can hold up well if properly looked after. Over time, copper will not rust but instead develop a natural green patina, which is completely harmless.
