I was selected to exhibit a large installation of my work
at COLLECTThe
Saatchi Gallery, May 2012.
COLLECT is the premier annual fair in
Europe for international contemporary craft of museum quality
curated by the Crafts Council. Please see the short film
on the commissions page 'You Blow me Away.'
Thanks to everyone who voted in The Craft and Design Magazine
Awards. I won the Gold in the Textiles category
and the overall prize 'Maker of the year 2012.' Woop!
I have a range of Limited Edition Prints
available in my shop and soon I will be launching a collection of silk
scarves. Watch this space!
I am always working on an eclectic mix of commissions and have just
completed a large embroidered artwork for The Royal Oldham
Children's Hospital. Please see the commissions section of
my website.
In November 2010 I was featured on 'Kirstie's
Homemade Home' teaching Kirstie Allsopp a Master Class on how to draw
with a sewing machine. Kirstie exclaimed that Machine embroidery was
the 'crack cocaine of craft!'. Kirsty and I will be getting together
again to launch a Kettlechips Craft
Competition in March 2013.
I will be hosting two SUPERSTITCHERS
Courses this year at Quarry
Bank Mill. Please see the workshop page for
dates and a booking form.
