I'm delighted to be collaborating with Coldharbour Mill in Devon again this summer, with a 2nd Heritage Craft Festival in the Mill's atmospheric Fox Gallery. A gathering of 12 like-minded artists greatly enjoyed demonstrating and teaching their creative heritage passions last summer and another gathering of artists is now waiting in the wings for August 2025! We are delighted that the Festival will be opened by Daniel Carpenter the Executive Director and one of the founders of Heritige Crafts Do come and visit us and enjoy our offerings of demonstrations, workshops and lots of creative chat. Tickets for the Festival and workshops are now on sale and a workshop ticket includes free Festival & Mill entry :)
My theme for this year's Festival is silk - a heritiage craft of my paternal ancestors in the North. While the silk industry in the UK has sadly declined in the 200 years since, I continue to use and promote this delicious fibre at every turn. Silk is avalable in many forms beyond that which is often understood and while woven fabric from far flung places has become expensive, I have found ways to produce beautiful projects in enjoyable and economical ways. Here are my two workshop offerings for this year's Festival - do come along and enjoy some silken fun with me.
Friday 22nd August 2025 - Eco Printed Silk Kanzashi Flower
Saturday 30th August 2025 - Silk Fusion Tealight
