Handmade cards
I love a celebration!
My latest handmade cards using my screen printed fabrics.
Born to sk8
I had a great time screen printing with Joe yesterday in my studio. He designed a brilliant image for his t-shirt which he proudly modelled for me afterwards.
Folding Cosmos Bath with Paula Tew exhibition
The exhibition preparation is well under way and the pieces have arrived in Bath from New York so we are pleased to have them in the country. We have set up a website for the project atwww.foldingcosmosbath.wordpress.com
Our flyers have also arrived; we have met some lovely people on our journey distributing them so far…..
Here are some photos of the Folding Cosmos exhibition I am organising to bring to Bath from Japan. The exhibition will launch on the 27th April and run until the 5th May 2012. During this time there will be the opportunity to attend Japanese tea ceremonies and contribute to our peace tree with origami and messages. I will exhibit textile and book pieces along side the established Japanese exhibition which I will develop in response to a period of research based on the tea ceremony, traditional Japanese dress and symbolism in design. I have started this research and am finding fascinating, can’t wait to start developing the work!

Batik
Have spent today having fun with artist Bethan Sheff and two groups of children (years 5 & 6), experimenting with batik. The children produced some fab designs, which they are going to turn in to bags.
The Times – Article
I was recently interviewed by The Times for their article on self employment and ’portfolio careers’. They used one of my designs to illustrate the piece which was great!
