These workshops take place at my studio at home and I only have 4 students at any time so you are guaranteed lots of one to one. They are informal, relaxed and friendly. As long as you have a little bit of experience with free machine stitching/embroidery then this workshop is great for anyone. Take a look at the 2 day workshop page on my website for more details.

I had a fantastic week mixing business with pleasure in London, exhibiting at the Society of Designer Craftsmen's annual exhibition at The Chelsea College of Art and taking some of the family to do some sight seeing. Lovely time, great experience but now, despite the incredible heat and the lazy attitude it creates in me I am back in the (very hot) studio to get on with some work.
What's Next!....... Had a fantastic weekend taking part in the Wirral Open Studio's Tour, lots of lovely visitors, wonderful comments and happy customers but now its time to focus on my next big event of the year....... I will be taking part in the Society of Designer Craftsmen annual exhibition at Chelsea College of Art, The University of the Arts London. I am so excited and honoured to be taking part alongside some truly talented and inspirational artists and craftsmen.  Come and Visit Us This time next week I will be opening up my studio again for the Wirral Open Studios Tour. This year Clare Watson will be with me at my studio showing her beautiful ceramics. The Open Studios is a great opportunity to get to talk to artists about their work and how its created as well as experience their working environment, so please come along and visit me and Clare in my studio for a chat and possibly a cup of tea and a biscuit.
