Events, Exhibitions and Workshops

I’m looking forward to giving a talk online for the San Francisco School of Needlework and Design on 16th February at 6 pm GMT tickets here.

The talk will be about my solo exhibition last year at Ruthin Craft Centre and the stories, meaning and process behind the selected works shown there.

I am delighted to be a featured artist in a new book due out now. ‘Unravelling Women’s Art’ was launched online via the Fashion and Textile Museum in London.

Delighted to be working with French General again – offering this LIVE ONLINE course and kit available here. The design is based on Pennsylvania Dutch ‘fraktur’ and uses a blend of new fabrics with machine and /or hand stitching. ‘Folk Stitchery’ is on Saturday 5 February from 10 am to 1 pm PST so you can join in wherever you are…
