Talks

I love to share stories and images of my travels in India, and my delight in block print and embroidery, indigo and Islamic geometric design. I've been fortunate to meet and observe talented artisans, some specialising in traditional skills and some who are applying a contemporary approach and seeking out new worldwide markets.

I aim to capture the mood of a place in my images and of course to acquire interesting samples along the way.

We all enjoy a textile extravaganza so contact me if your group would be interested in an illustrated talk online, or in person where the event can be genuinely tactile.

Posts will be intermittent for a while but you won’t even notice I’m away, dozing quietly in a warm den with mulled wine on tap*

Good wishes to y’all x

Blues will out, though! 
Indigo block prints, deep dark Japanese print cottons, rich Ghanaian indigo batiks, soft linens, hand dyed threads… I love them all, and so do many of you🤗!

A patchwork of pincushions, each hand stitched and set into a vintage egg cup! 
I so enjoyed making these and they are all listed in the shop now😘
I’m closing the doors and doing my last post office run of the year on Friday 13th😳
