ON MY BOOKCASE

I’m not an avid reader when it comes to fiction but I have a great collection of embroidery and textile books in my studio. Some of them were bought during my degree and have remained a great source of inspiration for my own work and when I’m running workshops and short courses. I thought I’d share some of my favourites with you.

NEW WORKSHOPS

After my summer break I’m excited to be teaching some embroidery workshops across Yorkshire. Since March 2020, I’ve been continuing to share my skills online, running workshops on Zoom. My new workshops in September and October will be in person, taking care to clean equipment and practice social distancing when possible.

THE RETURN OF THE SKETCHBOOK

One of the challenges I set myself was to start working in a sketchbook again, something that I’d stopped doing since the move last year. Throughout August I’ve been adding inspiration images, samples and sketches into a book. I’ve tried new techniques like collage and we went on a sketch walk with local illustrator Savannah Storm.
