With help from the fabulous Lee Goater I made a catalogue to showcase my curve stitching work to potential stockists. We made a gorgeous card folder which contains an insert for each product and design I make, which has been posted out to some carefully selected potential new stockists. I’ve had some lovely emails back so […]
Here’s my stall from Saltaire Maker’s Fair. It’s taken me too long to get around to writing about it but I had a brilliant two days there in September. The quality of the work was extremely good, although as usual I only got to whizz around quickly to look at everything! I met some lovely makers, including […]
The Saltaire Makers Fair is almost upon us. As always I’m doing all those last minute things that I thought I’d get done a lot earlier, and as the wonderful Lee Goater had just done me some fabulous new branding I’m trying to re-brand as much of my stock as possible too! I also have […]
I’m going to be dressing up, making art and being silly at The Tetley in Leeds and I would love you and your kids (if you have them) to join me! I’m part of the Joshua Tetley Birthday Party event on Saturday 18 July, where I’ll be making work with the recently formed Broken Art Collective (only […]
I was asked by Lee Goater – designer and all round great person – to contribute to his exhibition about circles, All The Way Around. It’s an exploration of what a circle is and how it doesn’t actually exist! The exhibition is on until 30 June at Leeds Central Library Art Space (you can get […]
I’m off to London in a couple of weeks to have a stall at what’s looking like it’s going to be a really great Craft Fair. It’s called BUST Craftacular and it’s happening in Bethnal Green on Sunday 17th May. The full address is York Hall, 5 Old Ford Road, London, E2 9PJ The first 100 people […]
I’m getting very excited (and busy) planning a community project that will consist of a number of workshops where I teach people to curve stitch to a standard where they can make the work and easily talk at the same time. We will then, publicly and collaboratively, make a large-scale piece of curve stitching for exhibition […]
It’s been a really busy couple of months. My Open House event went really well and I had quite a few sales through Folksy for Christmas and Valentine’s day. With a bit of breathing space now, I’m beginning to think seriously about this year and what it holds. I have a few commissions to complete, […]
I’m having an Open House on the weekend of the 28/29/30 November. There will be an evening party on Friday 28th from 6pm and then I’ll be open from 11am – 7pm on Saturday and Sunday. The kettle will be on pretty constantly, I will no doubt do some baking, and there’ll be wine and […]
I’m contacting lots of stockists across the UK at the moment (hopefully in time for Christmas!) so it was great timing when an email dropped into my inbox about a Folksy and Design Network North’s Meet the Buyer event on 20th October. A couple of weeks to really get my act together then!
