New For 2023

Needle Felting Workshops
Due to demand, I will be offering workshops again in 2023.
These are suitable for beginners or those wishing to brush up on needle felting techniques.
You will create a 20cm x 20cm needle felted wool picture.
We will focus on how to use the the tools safely as well as blending dyed wool fibres to achieve depth and perspective.
At the end of the session you will take home your own unique art work ready for framing.

Chiltern Made Craft Fair 26th Nov 10.30am-4pm
This is my last in-person event of 2022.
You are welcome to browse and shop new works as well as my needle felting kits. After a successful trial run during Thame Art Crawl in October, the kits have been popular at events in November. This is the last chance to purchase the “English Countryside” kit. It will be discontinued to be replaced with spring landscape kits in the new year. A THIRD batch of seascape kits will be available too!

19th November 2022

I’m excited about returning to Thame Town Hall, (Oxfordshire, UK) to take part in @sallyartistsmakers event this Saturday.
New work will be available, including the now finished Chilterns landscape with wild poppies that was a WIP during @thameartcrawl
An array of beautiful gifts will be available to purchase – designed and exquisitely crafted by local artists and makers.
We’re a friendly lot, happy to chat about how we do what we love to do!

I will be exhibiting and demonstrating in the wonderful, bright and airy upstairs gallery alongside eight other local artists. This is part of the yearly promenade event that runs from 11-16th October. It’s a great chance to speak to the artists and makers in person and discover the process behind the work in a friendly, inclusive atmosphere.
My new needle felting kits will be available to purchase. For the inexperienced, I’ll be on hand to offer “how to” tips on techniques enabling you to proceed with confidence.

Bucks Art Weeks 11-26 June 2022
Queens Park Art Centre. Aylesbury HP21 7RT
Bucks Art Weeks at Queens Park Art Centre is an opportunity to enjoy the work of 4 local artists who work with textiles, fibres and threads to tell their own story. This is expressed in their use of materials- natural, eco friendly and up cycled and with a passion for texture, colour and form in nature.
