Celebrate Exhibition

In 2020, I was invited to co-ordinate a community project in partnership with Craven District Council. The celebrate exhibition is now open in the newly refurbished Craven Museum in Skipton and I was invited to visit the exhibition gallery. It was amazing to visit a museum again, something I haven’t done since July 2020. The refurbished museum is well worth a visit and you can book your free ticket online.

Notes from the Studio

It’s been a while since my last studio update, from my previous posts you will see that I’m back in my newly refurbished studio. It’s great to have my own space back and I’m enjoying having the room to work on bigger projects. I’ve been taking inspiration from my surroundings, our walks in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and the Yorkshire Coast. I feel very lucky to live in such a fantastic location where I can feel so inspired.

Favourite Stitches

In my classes, I’m often asked what my favourite embroidery stitches are. I think it changes depending on what I’m making but I wanted to share some of my favourites that I always go back to. The best tip I can give you when learning a new stitch is to practice, some stitches are harder to grasp but you’ll get there.

Prism Virtual Collaboration

I’ve been enjoying taking part in the Prism Textiles Virtual Collaboration this year. It’s great to meet the other artists each month on Zoom, sharing what we’ve made having a natter.
