Happy new year...I have returned from my trips and travels to Paris & Amsterdam, visiting family and showing my textiles.  Back to creating new stock for this years' shows.  Fingers crossed my new website will be finished at the end of February that will (at last) include a shop for the bags, bracelets, kimonos and shawls that I've produced from rags and tatters with love and care.

Highlights of my trips were the Textile and Fashion Museum in Tilburg and the Museum of Decorative Art in Paris. If you get the chance, I'm sure you'd find them inspiring!

On a  more sombre  note, I passed through Iepers (Ypres), a town obliterated during WW1 and visited Anne Frank's home in Amsterdam. These places were as intriguing as they were harrowing. I am blessed to be experiencing this bitter weather and so much enjoying the slow appearance of spring.

Thank you to all who showed an interest in my work @ the Artmarket last weekend. I am starting to make a selection of Kimonos to sell next year so instead of having one displayed at shows in view to taking commissions, I will have stock there and then.
I am pleased to have been asked to show my work at the Hepworth market this Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th 10am-4pm. This will be my final show this year; I hope to see you there.
It has been an exciting year, starting with my work being shown in Selvedge magazines shop window for a month in the Spring, taking part in a dual city print and weave course in Istanbul and London with Mimar Sinan University and Central Saint Martins, being invited to show my work at the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair, The Artmarket and The Hepworth. In the new year I will be introducing my new shop online, building stock of areas of my work to avoid disappointment at shows and I will lead a series of workshops.
