Delighted to announce that I will be part of the Artisan Collective Christmas Market at Three Storeys in Nailsworth from 26th November - 7th December. I'll be taking along prints, cards and a few other bits and bobs (depending on what i can get finished in time!!)
I don't think I've done a Christmas market since 2021 so this is all a bit daunting, but i was so chuffed to be invited to join this lovely gang as a guest artist that i had to say yes! There are so many great creatives in this group it's always a wonderful show and a great place to pick up unique Christmas gifts.

I’ve been meaning to share this for ages, my new map of Nailsworth! Created back in the spring for nailsworthtc - such a fun project, and I love the way this map turned out.
I love Nailsworth, it’s such a wonderful little town - so many great independent shops and cafes, and just a stunning location. So I was really delighted to become a small part of it - you can see me being overexcited about in the last pic!
I’ll be back in Nailsworth at the end of November as a guest at the Christmas exhibition. This map has inspired me to create some new Nailsworth related prints especially for this, so do come along and check them out. The exhibition kicks off at from 26th November - see you there!

Our show is in an attic room and features work by 17 different artists, in the second picture you can also see gorgeous work by , and
Get yourself down here for a lovely day out! There’s an even a great selection of food and drink when you need a sit down - Felt cafe and Natural cookery school to name just two! It was so busy, do get a ticket if you can and come along.

Some work in progress of my very messy printmaking process! I’m excited to be part of Crafts Alive show at Rodmarton Manor next week (11th - 14th September) please come along to check out this fabulous celebration of contemporary craft. My prints will be part of the group show, Bloom, which will be on one of the lovely attic rooms at Rodmarton. The theme this year is flowers and the artist, I took inspiration from the incredible garden at Rodmarton, it was so much fun to explore and to create this new work. I even experimented with some colour prints, not the most successful but perhaps something to build on going forwards.
You can book tickets for the show via or just turn up on the day, there will be workshops and plant sales as well as work by loads of incredible artists and makers.

The exhibition takes place 10th - 14th September, so save the dates!!
