I have started the new year in full swing creatively and have completed several new works already…. These will be making their way to the *Fusion Art Fair in Harrogate in March.
(Bit confusing but this has nothing to do with *Fusion Textile Artists who are also exhibiting in February and March in Carlise! – Con-Fusioning!!!)
It is set to be a great exhibition with a wide range of different UK artists – an opportunity to buy art directly from the artist. You can find out more about it here….

*I have some complimentary tickets, if you would like to visit, please get in touch with me.

New for 2025…… I am going to try something different “W.I.P.* Wednesdays” (*work in progress)
I will be running these approximately once a fortnight until June to start and see how you enjoy this format!
You are invited to join me and like-minded creatives in my studio to work on your own projects.
I will be there to help with techniques and supplies, possible help or suggestions but I will not provide a preplanned workshop on these days.
You get to work in a friendly and supportive environment and dedicate time to your own work, or perhaps continue with work started at a workshop
The sessions will run from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and cost £20 per session. Tea and coffee will be provided, but please bring a packed lunch and your current project or idea.
