0 Comments

 
My final event of the season will be the Evanston Art Fair on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 August.y ooth number is 316 which will be located on the south end of Sherman opposite Target.

Chicago and Midwest customers -  I will be having a US studio clearance event over the weekend of 29/30 August at my house, 642 Sheridan Road, Evanston. These items will be free to anyone who can take them. If you cannot make the weekend dates then contact me to arrange collection beforehand. I have adjustable art tables, sewing machines, fabrics, drawing pads, chests of drawers, electrical goods and other stuff.  There will be no charge for these items!
I will also have my residual trading stock which I will be selling at a discount over that weekend.


My products may be ordered from the following shops on my website:

Art Journals - themed
Art Journals - places
Large Journals
Denim Covered Books
Leather Covered Books
Textile Collages with Calligraphy
Art Aprons
Shoulder Bags


I will be able to mail to US customers until August 31. I will be able to mail to UK customers from September 5. Please note that I will be returning to the UK permanently on 3 September and after that date I will have to apply postage charges to US online customers. If you are happy to accept the postage fee then order in the usual way through the website and I will send you a Paypal invoice for the postage. If you would like to ascertain the postage charges before ordering then email me what you want and I will calculate the postage and let you know before you order.

I will have with me at the shows  new large textile collages examples of which can be seen here.

I will also have with me my words collages, examples of which can be seen here. I can produce these in either a hanging fabric form or sewn onto card ready for framing. If you would like one of these or would like to suggest your own composition, email  me and we can work out the size and format.

I open my UK studio for free to visitors and artists who would like to explore my techniques and methods. Visits are by appointment and can be for any time that suits you - weekdays or weekends - and could range from a couple of hours to a full day. I will demonstrate techniques that interest you and you will be able to have a go at performing them yourself. If you would like to make an appointment contact me here. If you are nervous about access to the remote location of my house I can meet you in Combs and drive you in. It will also be possible to have a look at my garden on the day and if the weather suits, we can enjoy lunch on the terrace.

My products are all made from recycled materials. I have an ongoing requirement for:
1. new or used envelopes. All sizes are welcome and any quantities will be gratefully received.
2. hard back books 
3. fabrics including coloured bed sheets
4. denim jeans 
5. in my printing I can use any papers or card such as calendars, unused paper pads, coffee table books, magazines made from heavy weight paper,  unembossed wallpapers etc.
Please let me know if you can provide any of these and I will arrange to collect. As I am returning full time to the UK, I will no longer be able to accept materials from US based contacts. Many thanks to all of you who have contributed over the years.


I have posted summer photos of my garden which can be seen here.
If you have questions on any of these matters feel free to contact me.
