I am pleased to say preparations are well underway for my involvement in the Bridgnorth Open House Arts Trail. I am so looking forward to being part of this popular charity fund-raising event here in Bridgnorth. The trail is within easy walking distance of the High Street. Tickets available from Bridgnorth Library and cost £5. […]
I have just booked my second trip to the RA Summer Exhibition this month. I was so fortunate to attend Varnishing Day in September and see my Weave as part of a wonderful display of Art at this prestigious Gallery. I met some wonderful artists and a big thank you to my new friend Hazel […]
I have posted two pieces of weaving for March. The titles are taken from the Haiku poems that inspired the weaving.

I am just in the throes of writing up my notes taken from the demonstration provided by our member – Wolverhampton Portrait Artist, Tina Willis Jones – that took place via Zoom last Wednesday 3rd March 2021.

I made a conscious decision during lockdown to reflect on my current art practice. I found myself working from a memory of past events which has been very therapeutic during these challenging times.
