Family craft workshop at Make Southwest

Over the summer holidays, I had the pleasure of running a day of family workshops at Make Southwest in Bovey Tracey. Children and their adults came along to make some stunning tissue paper and wire flowers. Using pliers, snips, scissors, felt pen and water sprays they made some amazing collections of flowers, then they drilled holes in wood blocks to display them in.

As usual, I was blown away by the creativity and skill that some quite young children brought along with them; The flowers were quite tricky for young fingers to make, but as you can see from just a few of the resulting flowers below, they really outdid themselves!

A massive thank you to everyone who came along and made the day so enjoyable, and to Make Southwest for hosting me again.

Devon Open Studios at waterside location alongside 13 other makers…

It’s that time of year again when artists and makers across the whole of Devon open up their houses and studios and invite the public in to show off their incredible talent. Devon Open Studios is now up and running and I’m excited to let you know that I’m taking part at Flameworks in Plymouth (7 Richmond Walk, Plymouth, PL1 4LL) 

In total there are 14 of us taking part at this waterside venue, so there is plenty to feast your eyes on. Our opening times are Saturdays and Sundays, 10 – 4. Here is a link to my Instagram reel, where you can see a taster of some of what’s on offer… CLICK HERE … For the first time you can see some of the watercolour painting I’ve been doing out on clifftops in Devon, Ireland and the Isle of Harris.. some close ups are pictured above. I’m also showing my silver jewellery, recycled plastic jewellery, wirework, cards and more. I’ll be there myself on Sunday 14th and Sunday 21st September.
