Like a lot of girls, I’m a bit of a magpie – show me something with an interesting texture, or in a bright colour, or with a bit of sparkle, and I’m utterly hooked. And then, by happy accident I simultaneously discovered the ancient art of felt making one rainy weekend (that’s the texture and colour boxes ticked), and finally indulged in a long standing desire to learn how to work with silver (and that makes three!). And so ‘close your eyes hold out your hand.’ was born, indulging me and my magpie tendencies (without being too bling about it, because I’m not big on bling).

I work from my studio at home in London, with Charlie the dachshund and Harriet and Emily the chickens for company and the odd biting critique (very hard to please, chickens).
