There’s an art market coming up on the 9th of July at George Spencer School, Nottingham.  I worked with the scrap club to create this poster to advertise! They’ll be different stalls and artists there and everyone is welcome – it should be good fun!

My work will be part of an exhibition at Embrace Art Gallery in Leicester that will showcase contemporary collage and assemblage artists.  You can find out more at http://www.embracearts.co.uk/

There is a free open evening on the 7th January at 6pm where exhibiting artists will  talk about their work.

Hope you can make it!

My work is being framed and put on display at Gesso and Bole Picture Framers and Gallery on The Strand, Derby.  Hopefully it will be framed and on display by Monday.  Visit http://www.gessoandbole.com/ for more details!

I am working with George, a fantastic and very creative 13yr old to create a collage for his home.  It is about how music can take you anywhere.  Here’s how its coming along…

This weekend was brilliant – thanks to all who clambered up the big hill to see my work! It’s made me want to get collaging again – my new flat is not going to stay tidy for long!!! Will put some new work on soon

If any one took any good pics can they email them to me – I didn’t take any myself  

It was lovely workshop on Wednesday with some beautiful creations from all ages.  The idea is to make a big showcase of what can be done with your rubbish!

Come along this Wednesday, or the following one (11th or 18th August from 10:30 -12:30) to share your ideas, have fun, and chat over a cup of tea!

Over a series of 3 exciting workshops I will be working with lots of people  to create a piece of artwork which is all about seeing the potential in rubbish…

I will talk a little bit about how I work and then we’ll get stuck in to making and gluing and stitching beautiful things for the artwork! You can come to one workshop or all three, and they are open to children and adults – the more the merrier!
