Popped in quickly to see the Lions @prideofyorkshi

Popped in quickly to see the Lions @prideofyorkshiretrail at Meadowhall on the last day of the farewell event. I’m so thrilled to have been part of this and it was great to see them all together again and see how much pleasure they were bringing folk as we wandered around the display. It was funny to see them on such a warm, sunny day and remember how cold, dark and wintery it was when I was painting them. Also, remembering the odd days during the paining process when I thought I’d never be happy with the final designs and that I’d never get them finished either!! I’ll never forget the experience and I look forward to seeing how the auctions go over the next couple of weeks.

Love the cute stickers too! 😁

Woohoo I’ve made a top. I printed an old sheet using my wood blocks and after a bit of sewing, unpicking and sewing again, here it is!

I’ll be wearing it at the various fairs I have coming soon. I’ll be at @nottm_contemp for their print fair in a couple of weekends time and at @sheffieldprintfair a week or so after that. You’ll have to see if you can spot me amongst my lampshades! 😂

Have a great weekend all! 🎉

Would you like to learn how to print onto fabric and then turn your printed fabric into a lampshade?

If so I am running a workshop teaching exactly this on Saturday 7th November here in Sheffield.

There are still a few spaces left although I keep the classes small so I can give you plenty of help and support as you need it.

You can click on the link on this post or in my bio, or dm me for a link.

This is ‘Leaves upon the wind’, one of 5 woodcut prints I created for the Maple Ward at the Northern General in Sheffield as part of a commission for the refurbished ward.

I’ve been printing ‘scribbles’ using different techniques since then. Using them in various ways in my work. This week I’ve cut a scribble out of a sheet of plywood. I’m not fully sure where I’ll take this though I have a few ideas. If you scroll through the photos you can see the whole process.

I had a blast arranging and rearranging these colourful blocks cut out of recycled bits of wood recently. Want to know what arrangements I went for in the end?

If you come to @cupolacontemporaryarts new exhibition ‘Structure’ you can find out! Preview is this evening at 7 and the exhibition is on until Oct 10th.

I seem compelled to create using my hands. To make things that bring me joy and a sense of order amid the chaos. Constant rearranging and reimagining. At the moment I’m enjoying seeing repeated motifs in different media across 2 and 3 dimensions. Here are a few photos of recent work and a few pieces will be exhibited at @cupolacontemporaryart from next weekend through to October, for their exhibition ‘Structure’.

The preview is this Friday evening.

If you feel that you need to have some time just for you to get creative, then I have a couple of workshops coming soon here in Sheffield that might be just the thing!

Saturday 3rd October - Linocut printing ( on an Autumn theme)

Saturday 7th November - Print your own lampshade workshop.

You can find out more via the links on my bio and there should be links on this post. Or just dm me for details!

Delighted to have some new workshops coming this October and November.

First up is Linocut printing on an Autumn theme, on a Saturday 3rd October. I’m using Autumn as a starting point and obviously you can take this in any direction you like. Needless to say there will be a lot of colour involved in all the printing taking place in the workshop.

Just to add that if you sign up for my mailing list (which you can find on the home page on my website if you scroll to the bottom) I’m offering discounts until Aug 31st! Be quick!! 😀

I can’t explain why it’s taken be so long to make

I can’t explain why it’s taken be so long to make these wooden blocks as I’ve been thinking about them for hmmm…. about 15 years.

My work is always linked to childhood memories and full of the notion of play in many ways. Here in my studio I can be fully absorbed as I was when I was playing as a child.

While my head and body have been so exhausted and sapped by the endless heat and news of fires and so much other sad, sad news, working on these today has been completely absorbing.

So many possibilities. Endless. Not sure how these will evolve but thought I’d share some work in progress.

It’s my birthday and I’ve made a reel.

Chose this song because it’s a favourite with my Choir @cwnn_sheffield

I know there is a lot to feel down about but looking over photos from the past 12 months I have to say it’s been a really wonderful year. I’ve so much to be thankful for. Couldn’t do it without my friends and community and especially @notatennisplayer and @antoniamurrayyy
