Craft Fair 23rd and 24th November 2013.

I am starting work this week on developing my first fabric range, based on the design work I produced, inspired by the imagery of archive botanical illustration. I hope to be launching this range at the Glitter Arty Craft Fair, held at the Atkins Building in Hinckley on the 23rd and 24th November 2013. I will be there on both days, so please come and have a look and say hello. There will be a range of hand designed, printed and stitched interior items for sale and I will be taking commissions if you want something a little more personal. Or maybe you want to sign up to attend one of my Textile Workshops or Creative Art Classes.

Here are some examples of the work I have been doing, but this is just the beginning! You will need to come along to see how it develops.

Being Human Community Art Workshops - Exhibition

The work produced cumulates in an exhibition at the Atkins Building in Hinckley. From Monday 23rd September to Saturday 5th October.


Those that visit the exhibition are asked to carry on the journey by making their own mark and by coming to experience the sculpture in sound, vision and touch and then to contribute to it themselves, so the sculpture keeps growing and represents the voice and experience of our culture


The grand opening is on Monday 23rd September at
12.30pm. and is open during Atkins opening hours 8.30-5.30pm.
Monday to Friday.
