The photographed descriptive text is because, at the end of term, I literally took the advice of my students to have a break...of my wrist. Although I am most sure that was not what they meant !!!

I am ok otherwise and appreciate all the well wishes I have been sent.  At least it was not my drawing hand this time around.

Delighted to have work featuring in Remembering the Past: Creating the Future. International Textile Exhibition at Queen Street Gallery and Studio 40 in Neath.17th May – 15th June 2024.
