I’ve have an exciting challenge for the New Year - my first solo exhibition in April of this year. The venue is the Artistsmeet Gallery at the Watersmeet Arts Centre in Rickmansworth.

Soon, it will be time to for me to head into London with a boot-full of stock and props for the Contemporary Textiles Fair. I’m both excited and nervous at the prospect of taking part in this all-textile event. It should be a really good opportunity to meet some fellow-artists and to try out some new designs on some textile-loving customers.

I’m busy at the moment, really busy. It’s just a couple of weeks until Herts Open Studios starts and I’m only just getting round to firing my ceramics work ready to have on display.
