Am delighted to share some images of four new Resonate sculptures made especially for 'Traditional Twisted' at Unit 12, a brilliant applied art gallery in Staffordshire. This exhibition celebrates designer-makers who work in traditional techniques and processes but with a contemporary twist taking the crafts into new territory.

The exhibition opens tomorrow, 2nd March 2013 and continues until the 25th May. I thoroughly recommend a visit (I can't wait to go see my work in situ!). As well as the exhibition, you can see studio makers at work, and there is also a very inspiring programme of workshops.

Each sculpture is made using my trademark techniques of cotton and silk threads in gradating hues cast in high quality acrylic resin. The sculptures each measure 20x20x6cm.

Material Matters, Howard Gardens Gallery, UWIC, Cardiff 4th-28th October

Next week a new exhibition featuring some of my jacquard and resonate works opens in the Howard Gardens Gallery in UWIC (University of Wales in Cardiff).

For this exhibition coinciding with the Cardiff Design Festival, I find myself in very illustrious company. I'm exhibiting alongside a very international line-up of contemporary textile artists: Keireine Canavan, Philippa Lawrence, Cathy Treadaway, Helen Watkins, Brett Alexandrer (Australia), Catherine Bebout (USA) and Ainsley Hillard.

The private view is on the 7th October - so if you're in town, drop me a line and I'll email you further details.
