As a freelance artist, designer, lecturer and tutor (how do I narrow down that description?!)I have been contracted by numerous arts organizations to provide Talks, Workshops’ and Masterclasses’ in Textiles, Print Making and Fine Art subjects. These include branches of the Embroiderers’ Guild, Textile Study Groups and The Women’s Institute. Every year I teach at The Knitting and Stitching shows and exhibit with the Artist in Action stand.Currently I am building up to my exhibition at The Spring Knitting and Stitching Show at Olympia, London this spring; having also written articles or had work illustrated in Stitch, Inspired, Embroidery, Selvedge, Daphne’s Diary, Prima (online), Cloth Paper Scissors and the Batsford book ‘Be Creative with Textile Art.'
Although I currently write a lot of posts, this is my first “personal” column….thus this is the pilot issue!
What to describe myself as? As a lecturer, writer, artist, designer……whatever I am or try and explain myself to be, I tend to see a lot of stuff which excites me, so I’m going to share it here once a month.
I have just found out that I have been selected to be one of 50 designers to represent the North East of England at The Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair at The Biscuit Factory in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Its on the 23rd and 24th of June for those who can make it.
