Exhibition at Spotlight Gallery Broxbourne

I have a solo exhibition on at the Spotlight Gallery Broxbourne which is on until the end of December.
I thought I would share a few photos.

Etsy shop

After returning form a great weekend at made London, I decided to take the plunge and make an Etsy shop I have been busy creating what will hopefully be a masterpiece for 4 hours but it seems more like 4 days.  Oh I wish I was more computer literate and everything didn't take so long to do!!! It''s not often I'll be glad of the excuse to make diner, but until that time here are a few pictures from made London and I'd better get back to Esty.

Year 11 Workshop

I had a very busy week last week that involved spending lots of time on motorways being stuck in Traffic jams delivering and collecting Art work.  The highlight of the week was spending a really lovely day at a secondary school doing a workshop for some year 11 students.  They all had limited or no sewing machine experience at all, were very imaginative in their designs and all worked hard.  I was very pleased with what they managed to achieve and would like to share their work with you. 

It's all still work in progress, I hope you like their work and are as impressed as I was.

Made London

I will be exhibiting in Made London 26th - 28th October, at One Marylebone, NW1 4AQ. After listening to there helpful webinar I have realised that it is not very far away now. As Origin wasn't on this year it will be a great chance to come and spend the day at a high quality designer craft fair (there is a cafe!).  I am sharing a stand in the Crypt under the umbrella of the Design Factory with Tracie Murchison, Phiona Richards and Kate Bajic.  full details of designers and opening times are on there web site, http://www.madelondon.org.

I have just finished a new piece of work for it called 'luvin life' capturing my daughter and her friend going on their first holiday although I didn't want to make the work until they arrived home safely.  Hope this evokes some memories for a few of you!

Latest news

Now I am back from my holidays and children are to school it's full steam ahead with work as I have a busy few weeks ahead.  I have been asked to give a workshop at a school in Surrey for a group of year 11 students as I have recently been into a junior school it will be interesting to work with older students.    I will post some pictures of their work once I have been.

I have also joined a support network for textile artists through the Maltings in Farnham.  As a group we have been invited by the Maltings to put on an exhibition during their Festival of Crafts to show case our work, this will be on Saturday the 20th of October.  It should be a really good day with lots of inspiring crafts people.
