June 2023
I am getting ready for Open Studios which will run from Saturday September 24th - Sunday October 9th. The studio will be open on all three weekendns and at other times by appointment - just get in touch. I am making new jewellery pieces from the bog Oak recovered near the farm and will have new marquetry clocks, as well as furniture, on display.
As a departure the studio will relocate to my house where, along with my partner - textile designer - Jo Rolfe, you will be able to see our work. Directions will be in the brochure.
I am again booked to teach at West Dean College in September. On Friday 8th we are running the One Day Clock course where students make a marquetry clock face. We had some great results last time and students all leave with a finished clock at the end of the day.
The Three Day Marquetry Tray course will follow this from Saturday 9 - 11. I find it a great oppotunity to stretch my skills to meet these challenges and try to make them work at reality at short notice. Some students stay to attend both courses, building on skiils learned from the Clock project.
Suffolk Crafts Society website continues to make good sales. The summer exhibitoin at Woodbridge will run from Sunday July 16 until Sunday August 6. We are trying a new venue with an exhibition at Ickworth House from August 21- September 16. Then The Autumn exhibitio at Bury St Edmunds Guildhall in November.
Artifex in Sutton Coldfield, still have pieces on display. GroundWork Gallery has my bog oak jewellery in stock and two of my pieces in the penthose which is available to book.
I am compiling the latest Newsletter. You can see the Autumn 2021 newsletter here.
