Based on an hour long interview, they have manage to condense my ramblings into a coherent whole. Shorthand is an amazing invention..!

As the national agency for contemporary craft, the Crafts Council champions high quality contemporary craft practice nationally and internationally.

Sub-titled ‘a Celebration of Textiles’, the exhibition is curated by Veronica Gould and Yuli Somme (both textile workers in their own right), and earlier this month I welcomed them into my studio for a ‘guided tour’ and plenty of chat fuelled by tea.

In order to create some time to re-focus on my work, I will no longer be doing shifts in OWL gallery in the New Year.

Fortyfive designer makers who were hand picked from nearly 1,000 applications showcased a diverse and exciting selection of contemporary craft from the four corners our country, tied together by the quality of making.

An invitation, two years of planning, and many, many emails back and forth, eventually finalized into a series of four workshops over a 4-week teaching tour of NE America.
