Papercut in the window

Just found this photo of one of the very first papercuts I made. It's hanging in my studio window on a sunny day 2 years ago.

The Lightbox
Collected my unsold work from the amazing Lightbox Gallery in Woking whilst I was on the road..In fact I did a bit of a road trip and managed to clock up 600 miles in one day, collecting and dropping work off at various galleries around the country!

Henley on Thames
Went to Henley last week to meet with Pam Hayes of Henley Women's Regatta about creating a papercut for the event. It's beautiful and it must be pretty amazing when the regatta is on...

Lots of images

It's been such a busy year with lots of exhibitions and fairs all over the country, that I haven't had much time to keep up this blog.
As the year draws to a close I realise I haven't posted much - and I feel very guilty for not posting new work on my website - so here are a selection of images of work I didn't get the chance to publish.
Merry Xmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you all.

Images from a paper cutting workshop held in my studio over the weekend.
I can take up to 4 people and by the end of the day you will have created and framed your own paper cut ready to hang on your wall.
For a good description of the day from the point of view of a participant, read Lucy's blog here

Gower Papercut


Every morning I walk with a friend and her dog around the cliffs. It's beautiful and refreshing whatever the weather. It clears my head before I have to start concentrating on cutting out bits of paper very accurately.
This papercut was inspired by these walks and it now has a home in Surrey

Exhibition Sign

My papercut exhibition sign is starting to look a bit weary. I think I'll have to make a new one for 2015 - without the 'Glass' in it!

Great Northern Contemporary Design Fair



Just returned from the Great Northern Contemporary Design Fair at Manchester.
It was a fantastic event and this year it took place in The Old Granada Studios which was a brilliant venue. As a bonus it was warm, dry and not windy unlike last year in the marquee.
I had a fantastic time meeting other exhibitors and seeing the beautiful work that they do.
I love Manchester, it's such a vibrant city. The only downside was my mega grotty b&b and the nightmare journey home on the M6 and M5!

Tangiers

This papercut is based on a drawing in my sketchbook from a trip I took to Morocco in 2009. I originally cut it in the same format as the sketch but was then commissioned by a client to re create in a square format.

Cornish Papercut

I came back from exhibiting at The Cornwall Design Fair a couple of weeks ago, totally inspired by the beautiful little villages and harbours. The exhibition was at Trerife House near Mousehole so I managed to make a couple of visits in the early morning before the exhibition opened, to take some photos and make sketches. This is the resulting papercut which is now in the Rostra Gallery in Bath.
