Botanical Bliss Art in Bloom

I’m very honoured to be  part of  the latest exhibition at Heart Gallery in Hebden Bridge.
Botanical Bliss Art in Bloom runs from May 3rd to July 27th.

I have created three pieces, especially for the exhibition, as well as some favourites from my current range.

Heart Gallery is a stalwart of the Contemporary Craft world. I first met Alison, the owner, at the beginning of my Contemporary Craft career, when she was giving a talk about approaching galleries: the do & don’ts. Since then, it has been an ambition of mine to stock her gallery.
A couple of years ago, that ambition became a reality, but the novelty hasn’t worn off, I’m still thrilled when I’m asked to exhibit.

Remember to support your independent high street shops

Playing

I am passionate about communities. I believe we are stronger together, and I see the value in helping each other. 
Working as an independent maker in the creative sector can be quite lonely. But it doesn’t have to be.

I’m quite fortunate to have acquired naturally a small group of local creative friends.

Wild Botanica

I’m very excited about implementing my newfound skills. However, there are a few environmental questions I need to research before jumping in.

All that said, I just wanted to highlight the value of playing as an adult.

Never stop learning, questioning, experimenting, laughing, and doing something for the sake of it.
Find your tribe and have fun.

Beautiful Blue Tit

Embroidered fluffy tummy

After the longest month of the year doing admin, I’m finally back making again.

2024’s Best Seller, the Gift Frame Blue Tit is ever popular.

These little beauties will be going to @manchester Museum Shop, Heart Gallery, and the rather fabulous Artisan Made Trade show.

Handmade Only Trade Show

AMUK is very close to my heart as I’m one of the creative advisors who pushed for this event to  happen. It’s the only UK trade fair, specifically for British handmade makers.
Without this event, I very much doubt I’d be   a supplier to the Manchester Museum Shop or exhibiting at Heart Gallery.
