Trip to York

Just finished making my first ever power point presentation that I am going to give to the York Embroideres Guild on Saturday. It has had a few false starts and had to be done again as I coluldn't reopen my slides to work on them. However it's all finished now lets just hope I can open it on the day!!!!!!! Now the presentation is finished its off to start on a new piece of work.

Collect 2011

Just had a great day out at Collect 2011, lots of great makers at the Saatchi gallery. I loved the glass work by Steffen Dam which was very beautiful, the work at collect was his study of fossils and plants which he describes as frozen extracts of chaos to be watched undisturbed.

I also loved the delicate textile piece by Anne G loland.

.

As textile artist it is always very disappointing that there is so little textile work at collect I always hope there will be more and there never is. However there were also a couple of textile pieces by Matthew Harris and as always the inspiring embroidery of Alice Kettle.

After a lovely morning spent looking at the work of contemporary makers what a better way to end the day than lunch with friends.

Art at 88

Art at 88 opened on Thursday and I have sold my first piece of work there so I hope the new Gallery is a great success. Their web site is www.artat88.co.uk. so have a look.
Here are some images of my

art work at Art 88

Living Crafts

I had a great day out at living crafts yesterday with fellow HVAF members Jan Clark, Linda Gifford, June Faulkner and Tessa Barnes. The day started of rather quietly and unfortunately very cold. I have got used to the sun shine so consequently was very underdressed and couldn't stop shivering. Luckily the sun made an appearance in the afternoon and brought lots of visitors with it. Living crafts is on over the weekend so if you go visit HVAF.

I am spending the day at the Living Crafts at Hatfield House tomorrow with HVAF as part of the textile event, where I will be showing some of my work and displaying my portfolio. It should be a good day and I am really looking forward to it. Come and visit us if you go!!!
