Contemporary Threads, The Wee Gallery, Kelso

Craft Festival Scotland is running throughout May and June 2010 all around Scotland showcasing some of the finest craftmanship in these parts and I'm taking part! Throughout May I will be exhibiting and selling work from The Wee Gallrery in Kelso with two other fine textile designer-makers Valerie Graves and Lynsey Roberts. The show is called Contemporary Threads and will run from the 4th May until 29th May and it's free to pop in and have a look round. Check out www.dundee.ac.uk/craftfest/ or www.weegallerykelso.co.uk for more information. Look forward to seeing you there!

Other events you should definately check out are the Heriot-Watt University School of Textiles and Design Degree Show from 1st-5th June, from the looks of it there is going to be some fantastic work on show. Check out www.tex.hw.ac.uk for more information.

New Designers: One Year On 2010

Lots to report, but something that I've known for a month or so now is that I've been selected for New Designers: One Year On taking place down in London this July. I'm really excited about this opportunity and I'm currently busying myself with new work for the event and the launch of the India Collection I've been working on for about a year now. The plan if I can pull it off is to have three new repeated designs...my favourite way of working! There will also be all the soft furnishings and paper work I've been working away on over the last few months as well.

In other news (and the next post) I'm part of an exhibition in association with Craft Festival Scotland www.dundee.ac.uk/craftfest/ in Kelso throughout May...check back for more info!
