There has been some lovely weather in May, and I am keeping everything crossed for a sunny weekend for Alnmouth Arts Festival on 14th and 15th June. This year you will find me in a private house which is very exciting. Maps will be available but my venue is 19 Riverside Road – overlooking the estuary, though the big blue gates!
Also coming up … the return of Bywell Arts Festival 28th and 29th June with a preview on the Friday evening at the twin churches of St. Peters and St. Andrews in Bywell, Stocksfield.
I will also be returning to Belford Arts Festival this year on 12th and 13th of July (still awaiting confirmation of venue)
So as well as lots of preparation of events in the studio…W.I.P. Wednesday are continuing approximately every fortnight – so if you are free are looking for a friendly and hopefully inspiration place to get on with your “works in progress” booking is now available on my website – this means if there is a place available you can drop in at the last minute to secure your seat.
The next two workshops are also available to book in the website shop-
Manipulated and Knotted boxes on 11th June (only two places available)
And ..Creative backgrounds for stitch with Natural Dyes and Plants a three day workshop. The three days will give you a good overview of natural dyeing and printing with plants, as well as some resist dyeing methods. 8th,9th and 10th July.

The warmer weather is encouraging me to get out to the allotment and to go for more walks, enjoying all the lovely cow paisley and hawthorn. Inspiration everywhere and good creative thinking time .. so hopefully some new projects and works coming soon.
Hope you are finding your creative space in whatever way that is…
Till next time, happy creating- Deb x
