I  have just delivered work to The Customs House in South Shields. The exhibition is described below. My stitched drawings are my own designs but taken from years of looking at crewel work designs and old embroidery transfers. They incorporate pieces of the original transfers and my own drawing within the backgrounds.




Illustrative & Stitched Drawings
Various Artists   

28 November 2015 – 10 January 2016
Main Gallery

Featuring the work of illustrators and artists working with stitch, this exhibition explores the role of drawing in their practice - challenging traditional perceptions of ‘what is drawing’ and the ‘finished’ product within illustration and textiles. The exhibition includes work by regional, national and international artists, including: Ailish Henderson, Alice Pattullo, Alma Vescovi, Bethan Laker, Claudia Sacher, Esen Kaya, Gaynor Devaney, Helen Edling, Louise Edwards, Mandy Pattullo, Manuela Adreani, Melodie Stacey, Rieko Koga, Sharmistha Kar, Sue Stone, Tracey Long and Viv Sliwka.

Come in to the warm...

I am making my studio all warm and cosy and seasonal, like this little red log cabin,  in anticipation of lots of visitors joining us for our Annual Winter Fair. Hope to see you there.
All of you who are fed up with my ETSY shop being a bit empty I will be filling up its windows next week!

Leporello

A concertina book I am making. It seems to have been foggy and dark all week so this is the best I can do with the photography!
