Hi,
Many thanks to all who visited me at Lewes Artwave Festival, this weekend with Lewes Creatives and also at The Stitching Post in Isfield throughout the festival. It's always lovely to meet you and share my work!
I have quite a lot coming up this Autumn - more than I could mention in the last newsletter. So for those of you who read the last one, apologies for sending another one so soon but there are some new things added. Please read on for my up-coming events.
There's still time to sign up for Autumn Workshops:
Last few places on the Shoreham Houseboat Retreat, next Saturday 24th September. Please book soon!
Also Online Mini Trees and Landscapes workshop, Shell and Stone Weaving workshops and Learn to Weave, in Sussex and a weekend Short Course at West Dean College.
I have a few dates available for anyone wishing to book a Christmas-themed workshop for you or your group too.
For those of you who live further afield, It's the last week of Tapestry Touring International's show, "The Natural World" at Much Wenlock in Shropshire. The exhibition then moves on to Kirkleatham Museum, in Redcar.
"Looking to the Light" Exhibition at Bristol Glenside Museum is now extended to the 29th January.
Meanwhile in Sussex: Lewes Creatives will be having a POP UP SHOP, in Lewes High St, this Autumn. I am also showing work at Gallery Uno, Seaford and Lancing Craft and Design Fair.
More details about all these below. Do get in touch if I can help you further.
