Cockpit Open Studios

Hello strangers.

It's been pretty busy in the studio lately - wedding season!  Luckily the brides have all been lovely, no bridezillas as yet.

I'm gearing up for the Cockpit Arts Holborn Open Studios too.  Please come and see me on 11-13 June in Studio E2R!  More details are here

And here's your invitation

New Spring pieces coming soon

Prime of Miss Jean Hoodie

Love the hoodie headscarves!  And those lace-up shoes...

This is really organic jewellery

I heard about artist Hubert Duprat's project using caddis-fly larvae some time ago but wanted to post it here after seeing it again here.
Beautiful.  And disgusting. Makes me think about pattern and randomness and tessellation.

RIP Lee Alexander McQueen

He was a real inspiration.  I've posted about his work here several times and just wanted to mark his passing.

Walford Mill Crafts

After taking part in Walford Mill's Christmas exhibition I'm very happy that they asked me to stay.  Some new work is winging its way there now, including this pearl necklace.

New year new studio

It feels soo good to be at Cockpit in my new studio, with some room to swing a cat and a place to mess up and and leave behind at the end of the day when I go back to my more homely feeling home.

I just treated myself to a huge new lamp so I can see what I'm doing.  Believe it or not, I was just using the tiny black one you can see on the corner of my table before.

I need a laptop now.  I'm at home doing admin as we speak.  Tax returns, yikes!
