A 'World of Threads' and Creative Break in Italy.

 I have been busy working on some new projects and exhibitions recently including  working on 'Trees'  for the' Wild' exhibition with Art Textiles Made in Britain at the Festival of Quilts in August.  Most current exciting news is that this installation piece has also been accepted into the prestigious 'World of Threads' in Ontario so have been busy making further sections to add to the bigger space it will be shown in.

I am equally  delighted to be leading a cultural holiday and workshop to Italy in October with Arts and Cultural Travel. who 'travel a little different.'

Found-Stitch-Paint Workshop
with
Artist + Author Cas Holmes 

Crossing rolling hills, medieval villages, churches, and castles immersed in a landscape of unique beauty lies the charming medieval town of Colle Val d’ Elsa.

  Situated between Florence and Siena just slightly off the beaten path we’ll wander the narrow streets, small shops and markets drinking in inspiration from
a time long ago.

Settle in with pen and journal, stitch and paint while tapping into the creative well that has been yearning for just this kind of journey.

You'll savour these memories in the pages of your journal for years to come.

My summer school with West Dean College is full. I have a few more workshops listed for the Winter. These and other workshops are listed here 

I recently ran short taster sessions as part of the Craft Festival in June followed by a three day workshop looking at 'Land-Marks and 'Landscape' in cloth. Of course, I could not resist a look around the gardens in the brilliant weather. They looked beautiful in the sun and enjoyed the sculptures by
