Last week was a whirlwind | here’s some snapshots of my work & Portfolio exhibited @newdesigners ✨
A massive thank you to my lecturers & technicians @textilesbcu & @bcu_foundation for supporting me throughout my degree & selecting me for @newdesigners | I am thankful for every moment & all I’ve learnt ❤️
Some of my favourite quotes about my work from over the week at New Designers….
“Your work is like a stream of conscious thought”
“Every single thing makes me feel happy”
“This is so sexy & hot”
“It’s like Punk & Play”
“This is so exciting I’ve seen nothing like this before”

Had a wonder-filled day with @artsintheyard always a pleasure ✨
I delivered a workshop at Blakesley Hall. Today we embellished photographs with stitch, acrylics and beads.
Had a brilliant meeting with Lurex®️today.
Supporting my Arts practice and Residency @textilesbcu by supplying me with materials.
They kindly invited me to visit their UK headquarters to have a look around the sample room and take whatever I need.
