Here are some pictures of my latest project, Big Ted, sandwiched in Perspex – and looking very pleased with himself!

I had a very enjoyable day on Saturday 14th April as part of the Embroiderers Guild AGM at Milton Keynes. It was great to meet so many like minded people.
Thanks to everyone involved for making me so welcome.

These pieces are currently being displayed at Piccolo Gallery in London.

I ran a very enjoyable workshop on Figures, Faces and fabrics near Stamford on March 14th.
I was welcomed by a very friendly and very talented group, who bought some wonderful memories to work on.

 

I am excited to have been invited to talk at the Embroiders Guild National AGM in April 2018.

I will be talking around a John Ruskin quotation.

26th – 28th August 2016, Stirling University

It was a joy and a pleasure to join the 16 members of my group at Stirling University for two days. We experimented with design and printing techniques using African artefacts as our inspiration. The group had an extensive knowledge and skill base and their willingness to embrace new techniques enabled them to produce the exciting, creative and technically very proficient work that you can see below. The whole experience was warm and friendly and was enhanced by the beautiful surroundings and sense of fun that pervaded the workshop.

 

 

 

5/6th September talk and workshop for the Dublin Embroiderer’s Guild. Had a great time and was made to feel very welcome, here are some photos from the weekend…

It was so exciting to have an exhibition of my own at Alexandra Palace this Oct. I was so nervous but it all went better than I had ever anticipated.
Here are just a few of the comments from my visitors book:-
‘ Glorious Celebration of the every day’
‘Thank you for allowing me to walk through your rainbows’
‘Stunning work a beautiful way of seeing life’
‘Mind shattering! Creative Juices revived at the age of 91’
‘The ‘Playground’ was the most stunning piece in the show, my favorite’
‘Best in Show’
The best exhibition we have seen since 10a.m and we have now been round it all’

Thanks to all that viewed my exhibition for their kind comments and support.
