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.

I am planning to sell my lovely Lendrum spinning wheel.
Do you know of anyone in the UK who might like it?

Delighted to have this wonderful book waiting for me when I got home. 
The stories of 25 women who weave, spin, make buttons, embroider and sew, keeping alive their textile traditions with strength, generosity and dignity in a rapidly developing country.

The women of Morocco rock!

Stunning scenery, rock formations, gorges. 
Donkeys, camels, monkeys.
Also snow on the ground. 
Also desert.

It has taken me quite a while to get here (years tbh) but I’ve finally made it to Morocco. 
Only been here a whirlwind few hours but i know it ain’t going to disappoint πŸ€—
