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.
Exciting news!
In October 2022 I entered the Belsay Design Challenge, in association with the Rural Design Centre Innovation Project and English Heritage. I'm delighted (and overwhelmed and surprised!) to say I won! Read the article in the link below to find out more!

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.
