Saturday Workshops at Corner 9 Arts Project

I will be running a series of Saturday workshops at Corner 9 Arts Project this October and November.

We will be making felt sketchbook covers, felt beads and silk painting a scarf, perfect if you are looking for new projects for handmade Christmas presents.

Regeneration

Jenny Leslie specialises in work using natural dyes and I'm looking forward to seeing Jenny's new work in the new exhibition opening tomorrow in London.

Half-term Travels and an Unexpected Gallery Visit

The half-term school break has provided a wonderful opportunity for family visits and a trip to Norfolk.  Although the weather hasn't made outdoor activities very enticing a restful few days with family and catching up on things has been just perfect.

A chance discovery on our family travels this week was coming across the Artisan Gallery.  Took some time out on our journey to stop and enjoy the current exhibition, Stitched.  It was wonderful to come across this exhibition of textile and mixed media art by Sabi Westoby. A fabulous collection of beautiful work. 

New Year

The new year started with a family silk painting workshop on 5 January.  A wonderful world of colour on luxurious silk, just the thing to brighten up a grey winter's Saturday afternoon.  The workshop with Corner 9 Arts Project was great fun and different techniques were tried to create mini works of art which were mounted on greetings cards.

Lots of new projects and workshops to look forward to this year including teaching at the Spring Knitting and Stitching Show at Olympia in March and new workshops at Corner 9 Arts Project.  Looking forward to a year filled with lots of colour and fun experimenting with new materials and techniques.
