Hothouse Sketchbooking
August 1, 2010
As part of the Hothouse programme, we have been asked to keep developmental sketchbooks alongside the business development workshops, to document any new creative ideas that are bubbling up.
Today I went out for a walk in a couple of miles radius of where I live, just with the loose idea of collecting colours, textures, and patterns that sparked my interest. Here’s a few of my favourites:
Hothouse
July 5, 2010
I have been selected to take part in Hothouse, the Crafts Councils new business development scheme, for emerging designer/makers.
In partnership with the innovation centre at Central St Martins, and the Palmer Hamilton Partnership, I will be taking part in a programme of focussed, intensive, business skills, complemented with 1:1 mentoring over a three month period.
I can’t wait to start in just a couple of weeks, and meet the other designer/makers in the London cohort.
I have also recently been approached by Cambridge Contemporary Crafts, and will be stocking my work with them from the end of this month.
Family Fun Day
June 7, 2010
I spent a very enjoyable day yesterday, running knitting workshops, as part of the Family Fun Day at the University of Brighton. I am currently working as one of the technical demonstrators in the knit department, so it was great to be able to get involved in this fun, community day, whilst working at the University.

East Sussex Contemporary Art Fair
March 22, 2010
I’m looking forward to taking part in the East Sussex Contemporary Art Fair in the Creative Centre in Rye College from the 23rd to the 25th of April.
This event is organised to help raise funds for Rye College, an Arts & Enterprise Specialist School. This year they are fundraising for the Ghana Carnival Exchange Project as Rye College is hoping to initiate a yearly exchange visit enabling students to travel to Ghana and participate in some of the spectacular carnival events that take place there.
