I have just returned from a wonderful day in North London installing a triptych commission for a delightful couple who discovered me at Origin last year.

Below you can see some pictures of the commissioned 'Loose Threads' wall panels which were designed to compliment the colours of their interior. They are made from cotton and silk threads encapsulated in acrylic, and each panel measures 40x40cm.

website launched and other news....

First things first: the website has been finalised and I am delighted with the results. Please do visit http://www.laurathomas.co.uk/ and let me know what you think!

I have now properly moved into my studio and after a tense couple of hours getting the loom working after the move, it's behaving itself. I'm now onto the second warp: a black cotton leno which is giving me some interesting results. Hope to post some picture up here soon.

Am also in the midst of planning my forthcoming exhibitions. Firstly I will be showing at the British Crafts Trade Fair at Harrogate, which is open from 6-8th April to trade buyers only. I will be on stand number 310. For further information please visit http://www.bctf.co.uk/

The following week I will be helping install a Makers Guild in Wales group show at the Wales Millenium Centre in Cardiff Bay. This will be open to the public from the 16th April through until the 16th June.

Hope to see you at one of the shows!
