It was a pleasure to introduce a new course at the Weald and Downland museum near Chichester, West Sussex.  The morning was spent making peg looms with the help of experienced carpenter Sam Ford.   We then spent the afternoon learning how to weave on them.   All learners were able to take home their own peg looms to continue their weaving and it was a thoroughly enjoyable day.  For more information…

I was amazed to discover this ordinary church in Goring on Sea in West Sussex with an extraordinary artwork inside.  Artist Gary Bevans painted a copy of the Sistine Chapel ceiling here in the 1980's.  It has to be seen to be believed so I hope you are able to visit it one day.  It took the artist 5 years to complete and is truly inspiring.

The work of this amazing Peruvian tapestry weaver is being shown at Denbies winery near Dorking, Surrey until 23rd June.    If you want to be inspired, I thoroughly recommend a visit or if you can't get there, visit Maximo's website   www.maximolaura.com  and prepared to be amazed!

I've just had the pleasure of producing a large wall hanging for a deaf/blind client.  It had to have features for her to appreciate but also be visually successful for her sighted partner.  It was a challenging project, but both the client and I are very happy with the result.

I thoroughly recommend a visit to this Kaffe Fassett exhibition - at the Fashion and Textile Museum in London until the end of June - it is inspiring!
