Meet the maker

All my work is individual, each piece is photographed separately, so the piece you receive will be what you see on the screen.

I want all my customers to expect a first class shopping experience from me. Each item is also lovingly packed, often in tissue paper and sometimes in organza bags,

I trained at Loughborough College of Art and design. My current body of work started about 16 years ago when I mastered the art of free machine embroidery, today, a lot of my work is based on the botanical world.

I layer up my fabrics which are often hand dyed cottons and silks too, as they give a wonderful sheen. I free machine embroidery over all the layers to create quite a stiff fabric, before I cut, sew, fold and manipulate the fabric into shape, often 3 dimensional, resulting in little treasure like containers.

I have had a love of badges since a very young age and I'm pleased to be able to incorporate these in my current work.
I also love glass Lampworking, and this can be seen occasionally in my work too.
Thanks for looking.
