Henley on Thames

Went to Henley last week to meet with Pam Hayes of Henley Women's Regatta about creating a papercut for the event. It's beautiful and it must be pretty amazing when the regatta is on...

yes there are loads - one for every eventuality!!

New Shop

I have a new shop with a very limited number of products, so I'll see how it goes before I upgrade.

Lots of images

It's been such a busy year with lots of exhibitions and fairs all over the country, that I haven't had much time to keep up this blog.
As the year draws to a close I realise I haven't posted much - and I feel very guilty for not posting new work on my website - so here are a selection of images of work I didn't get the chance to publish.
Merry Xmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you all.

Papercutting Workshop in my Studio

 

Images from a paper cutting workshop held in my studio over the weekend.

I can take up to 4 people and by the end of the day you will have created and framed your own paper cut ready to hang on your wall.

For a good description of the day from the point of view of a participant, read Lucy's blog here

Gower Papercut

Every morning I walk with a friend and her dog around the cliffs. It's beautiful and refreshing whatever the weather. It clears my head before I have to start concentrating on cutting out bits of paper very accurately.
This papercut was inspired by these walks and it now has a home in Surrey

Exhibition Sign

My papercut exhibition sign is starting to look a bit weary. I think I'll have to make a new one for 2015 - without the 'Glass' in it!

Great Northern Contemporary Design Fair

Just returned from the Great Northern Contemporary Design Fair at Manchester.

It was a fantastic event and this year it took place in The Old Granada Studios which was a brilliant venue. As a bonus it was warm, dry and not windy unlike last year in the marquee.

I had a fantastic time meeting other exhibitors and seeing the beautiful work that they do.

I love Manchester, it's such a vibrant city. The only downside was my mega grotty b&b and the nightmare journey home on the M6 and M5!

Makers Guild In Wales

Just heard that I've been selected for The Makers Guild In Wales. The work is a showcase of contemporary craft from Wales with international exhibitions and hands on workshops. It's situated in Cardiff Bay, directly opposite the Millenium Centre
