Welcome to my blog, where I write about my latest products and ideas, discussing my new patterns and the methods I use to design my scarves, bags, cushions, and cards. The blog will also feature articles by other young fashion designers, writing about their own work and current trends in the craft and fashion industries. If you'd like to contribute to the blog, just contact me. Remember to follow me on twitter for all the latest updates!
The other day I stopped off at Gladstone Pottery Museum. I wasn't actually intending to go, but I just saw a sign for it when passing through Stoke and I thought I'd stop off and see what it was like - I'm glad I made the effort as it was brilliant! It's housed in an old pottery factory, where you get to see all the machinery as well as the really impressive chimney kilns, some of the few left in Stoke - I wish they hadn't knocked them all down in the 1950s! There were also practical demonstrations and I got to throw a pot, which wasn't quite as easy as I'd have liked. I found the exhibition on the history of tiles, especially all the different patterns on display, particularly inspiring too. Well worth a trip to Stoke for!
