What a wonderful weekend it’s been at 🫶🏻 I feel so enriched and inspired by the textile community that I get to be a part of! Thank you so much to everyone who came along and stopped by for a chat, bought something lovely from my stall or engaged with the team and the activities we put on in the museum and archives department.

Also special shout out to my lovely mum who covered my stall today and mothered (fed) my fellow stall holders too while I was busy leading workshops, what an angel! 💕

I have now melted into the sofa and will be there for the foreseeable future.

Just sharing a couple of gorgeous snaps from a couple of weeks ago when I popped up at during . It’s always such a pleasure to share a space with Zosia and the studio was so beautifully curated!

I’ll be bringing some of my naturally dyed silk scarves (photographed) along to this weekend alongside lots of other lovely treasures so do pop by if you’re able! 🫶🏻

Naturally dyed silk lampshades, gorgeous botanical prints in soft rosy tones. I’ve made a few of these now and I just love the warmth they give off when the light is waning in the studio. They’ve been a hit at markets this year too so I think will become a permanent part of my collection moving forwards ✨

Thank you so much to those who came along for this weekend, it was so lovely to chat to folks about my work! Extra lovely to spend time with new and old arty friends too 🫶🏻

It’s my birthday today so and I are heading to the spa to have a proper break after such intense exhibition prep this past month. Then I’ll be back to it and preparing for ✨

I’ve got a selection of woodland works up at in Slawit at the moment. This is collection of whimsical landscapes I’ve created using natural dyes, oil pastels and gold leaf over the past year and is my first solo exhibition (so it’s kind of a big deal!)

It’s on until early June so do pop by if you’d like to have a gander, it’s worth it for the pastries alone! And thank you to those who have already visited, it’s been so lovely to hear your wonderful feedback 🫶🏻

Also big love to Jackie for curating ❤️

Look at me posing with my work like a silly sausage.

Here’s a recent commission that I’m really quite pleased with. I’d not created a wall hanging before so I wasn’t sure how the work would translate but it’s come together wonderfully. This piece will be going to its new home tomorrow so it seemed right to get some photos with it before I say goodbye! I really enjoyed this one so do drop me a message if you’d like one of your own.
And don’t forget to pop down to in Slawit where I’m showing a full collection of works for the next month or so!

Back to the Forest, drenched in mist.
- natural dyes, oils and gold leaf on silk.

I’ve been having a very slow start to 2026.
Still very much hibernating, seeing friends and planning the year ahead. My schedule is quiet and the studio is chilly so I’m taking this calmer time to reflect on what went well in 2025, what I want to do more of this year and what to leave behind.

Hope everyone had a lovely festive season and thank you so much for supporting me and my silly planty endeavours for another year. 🌿
