Hello <<First Name>>

Well we did it... we made it through January!

For me, the month has been very busy with my regular teaching commitments all moving online, but I've also snatched a few moments to explore new ideas in my own practice. I am particularly enjoying creating surface prints from my small textile and mixed media pieces. You can see a few of my experiments on Instagram.

I was totally bowled over by the response to the new date for my online Deconstructing Cloth talk; tickets sold out in just a few hours. So for those who missed out on the previous two dates, I'm adding one further talk (the last for a while) and you can find more details below.


Stay safe.

Deconstructing Cloth - online talk

The theme of the talk will explore several of my recent projects, which take inspiration from historical textiles, archives or the local textile industry. I'll be showing images from my personal research and textile sampling, as well as giving an insight into the development of my projects from inspiration to realisation. 

Tickets are available to book now on my website, where you can also find more details.

I am also able to offer talks via Zoom for interested groups. Contact me for more information. 

"This was a most fascinating talk giving a deep insight into the 'behind the scenes' processes of a working artist"

"Your process of connecting place with cloth with your unique perspective... It was wonderful."

"Inspiring and motivational"

"It was the perfect presentation of history and how it can inform current day artistic practice."
 

Workshops

I have planned two workshops at my home studio in West Yorkshire. Cyanotype Essentials is a one day introduction to the fascinating world of blueprinting. During the workshop you will learn how to prepare and mix chemicals to print on a range of materials, including textiles and papers. These workshops will be limited to small groups of 6 students, with all materials and lunch included in the price.

I'll be running two dates for in-person workshops at my studio; 15th May and 30th July 2021. Find out more and book a place online.
