Some zips came my way from a closing down haberdashery. I set to work and screen printed on my modest stash of fabric and then sewed these lined make up bags. They will be for sale soon.
Big wig make up bag. Hand screen printed, recycled linen and lined fabric from past projects.
Since the 1st of April 2020 I have been busying myself with to online art challenges. The first is April Illustration and the other is 100daysproject. Here are a few of the images I have posted so far.
I am sitting here on a stormy March day putting together products for sale at two upcoming events, go to events page for details.
I will be setting up a newsletter for those interested in future art, design, and craft courses.
Workshops will be aimed at mixed ability with and emphasis on experimentation in a relaxed and fun environment. the studio is in its planning stage but if you would like more information on future short course and workshops please do put your contact details below.
I Promise you won’t be inundated by emails!
Having bought a Virgin Mary statue this summer in Marseilles, we wanted to show her off with a kitch but sympathetic background. This is where the tin stars feature, all 200 of them. Cutting them out and embossing was a relaxing craft experience, and like knitting you can glance up at Netflix too.
Another day course at the Curwen print study centre near Linton.
Everything about the process is full of colour and energy. First choosing the inks and then rolling them out on old bread boards, shiny with age and amazing patina. I would happily have them on my wall.
The last picture is the drying rack where the prints sit layer upon layer.
