In Summer 2024, I partnered with The Jewellery Studio to write and design six poetry pieces focusing on the themes of love and connection. The idea was to embody the essence of love through words – its feelings, memories and significance. These poems were materialised as luxury A7 prints and were then paired with rings from The Jewellery Studio’s beautiful new collection. Each customer purchasing a wedding band, engagement ring or bespoke gift then received a free poem with their order

July 2024 was one to remember. I ran a poetry pop-up for four beautiful days in the Nottinghamshire countryside at annual festival, Focus. Set in the Marketplace alongside a select number of vendors, Words by Elle was open for business each day between 12-7pm, stocked with original poetry prints and posters (now available to buy at elleredman.com/store). It was a real pinch-me moment to display and sell my work here, as well as connect with lots of lovely customers and creatives!

In May 2020, I launched my online shop, Words By Elle.

The idea was to create simple yet beautiful products, perfect for gifting to friends, loved ones, or even strangers
