WASPS Open Studio

The weekend after next (2nd & 3rd October) is the annual WASPS open studios which is happening Scotland wide and will be showcasing some of the artists and designer-makers Scotland has to offer. I'm based at WASPS in Selkirk in the Scottish Borders, where there will be live music, cakes and plenty of inspiring artwork and artists...so if you live near by why not pop along or see if there's a studio closer to you!

Gin Palace Update

Here's me sorting out a design for the Gin Palace Collective event taking place on the 9th-11th April in Glasgow. Designing and making is really hotting up this end as I have quite a bit to do but I'm really looking forward to the event and meeting all the other designer-makers taking part. This design is hopefully going to be a tea towel when I'm finished but we'll see how it prints, I finally got my big repeat off the table yesterday after about a month so it feels rather strange to be working on something a little smaller for a change! And to my Number One Fan, Happy Mothers Day!
