I am beginning to feel the nights starting to draw in just a little bit. It feels like we need to enjoy every last moment of the summer before it fades.
My Summer has been busy with dyeing, stitching, gardening, art fairs and workshops.
But I am hoping to grab a few days away at the end of August/ beginning of September before the nights really draw in.
This will cause a little gap in the fortnightly W.I.P. Wednesdays which will start again on 10th September.
It has been lovely to bump into so many of you this year at both Alnmouth and Belford Art Festivals. My next event is at Whalton on 5th October with Tin Shed.
Upcoming Workshops
Mixed Media Minis- inspired by my 100 day project that I stated back in 2024 and have only recently finished
(I added a unscheduled year gap in the middle – lol), create mini artworks and tags with all your “bits”.
Exploring Edges – in this hand stitching workshop you will create a sampler book of different edging stitches.
Autum Colour – 2 days of experimental dyeing and printing celebrating the colours and leaf falls of the season.
Autumn/Winter workshops are now available for booking on my website shop. I have also updated the inspiration packs stock, and added cords and ribbons.
Lastly I am delighted to have “Hidden Messages” selected for the Northern Summer Exhibition at Newcastle Arts Centre - there is a great range of art work on display until September 13th – its well worth a visit if you are local.
Till next time hope you enjoy the late summer day and look for to the autumn colours.
