Contemporary Textiles Fair

Just found out I've been accepted for the Contemporary Textiles Fair, Landmark Arts Centre, Teddington. 13th/14th March 2010 if you fancy a trip down; I'll be on stand 42! Haven't been to this one before so it's a step into the unknown but I feel like venturing a bit further afield. Lots of interst from galleries in the past few weeks, Castle Howard Christmas Art Fair, West Yorkshire Print Workshop Christmas Fair and now this one next March....lots of work to do!!!

Portfolio

I had some professional photographs taken recently by Yvonne Grist. I've put them in a slide show for a kind of online portfolio......hope you like them!

New Stockist

I've left a selection of my work at a fantastic gallery in Hillsborough, Sheffield. Cupola Gallery has a varied selection of work as well as a solo show by Isobel Walker who is showing a beautiful collection of prints. You really need to see them first hand to appreciate them!

HOST

It's the end of a fantastic weekend as part of the Huddersfield Open Studio Trail. Thanks to everyone who came to visit my studio and made the weekend worthwhile. The next event is Castle Howard Christmas Art Fair at the end of November. Back in the studio tomorrow getting ready for the next one!

There's still time to catch the West Yorkshire Print Workshop members exhibition at the Upper Gallery, Cherished, Otley where I have the linocut pictured.

HOST

Just over 1 week to the HOST opening party and 2 weeks to the open studios weekend at West Yorkshire Print Workshop. In the process of putting work back on the walls after all the recent exhibitions and events and having a tidy up. There's a fine line between working studio and tip!!!

The piece on the right will be in the preview night exhibition at the University of Huddersfield, Creative Arts Building. Everyone's welcome to the opening night party so come along and plan your trail!

Coastal Wilderness

Have been busy working on some new work and getting things photograpphed. Yvonne Grist has done the photos and it makes such a difference having them done by a pro!
