A tutorial and feature in Stitch Mag!
I was delighted to be approached by Stitch Mag last year. I wrote a winter tree tutorial for their Dec/Jan 23/24 issue. This was accompanied by a focus feature, where I wrote more about how to further explore landscape textiles, using a range of different textile techniques.

The Saturnalia Project
In November I worked with participants at North Tyneside Art Studio, to create art works inspired by the artefacts on display at Segedunum Roman Fort and Museum. These artworks were then displayed in the museum: In the role-reversal spirit of Saturnalia, the visitors became the curators.
