Linoprinting at the speed crafting event.......

Last Thursday night was the speed crafting event at the Brentwood Road Gallery and I just wanted to share some of the great prints that people created on the night. These were their first attempts which I thought were brilliant. Thanks to everyone who came and had a go and made it a really enjoyable evening!



The whole night flew by and I got so busy I didn't get the chance to get more pictures of the other results from the youngsters that had a go. I didn't even get the chance to look at the other great crafts on offer and the exhibition next door which was celebrating its finale night. I got told there were some amazing lino prints in the exhibition so i'm gutted I missed that!

Lorraine was also there on the night showing her brilliant knitting skills. Lorraine runs the group Clickers that's at the centre on a Thursday night, 7-9pm. If you're interested in knitting or anything crafty then pop along as its a lovely group and Lorraine is a little fountain of knowledge that can show you anything you want to learn! I used to go to the group before I had the little one and made so many great things.

Busy, busy, busy.........

So to start off with thanks everyone who came along to the Private View and have been visiting the exhibition at the Arc in Old Harlow. It's still running so if you're near by pop along as it's a lovely venue with a little cafe. It's a converted church which is being used as a community centre with a new extension on the side which houses the gallery and cafe. It's also in the middle of Old Harlow which has some lovely old buildings.

It's another busy week and this Thursday is the speed crafting event at The Brentwood Road Gallery. I'll be demonstrating linoprinting and if you fancy making your own valentines card pop along and have a go.




This Saturday is the Valentine's Vintage Fair at Wanstead, next to the library. I designed the poster and drew the girl especially so i'm going to add her to my range of cards. I've also been making some valentines cards from vintage papers especially for the event and got asked by my other half if he could have mates rates! If I sell one to him atleast i'm gauranteed to get one!




If you're around Walthamstow this Saturday it's the launch of the Wood Street Indoor Market. They've completely filled the space with lots of artists, designers and vintage sellers and this Saturday is a whole array of fun activities to entice you along......

Speed Crafting night......

Pop along to The Brentwood Road Gallery at Frances Bardsley School on 9th February for a night of speed crafting. I'll be demonstrating lino printing but there's also knitting, cross stitch, jewellery making, cupcake decorating and you can even make your own bath salts.

So come along meet some crafty people, grab a glass of wine and even get the chance to pick up a gift for Valentines day or just treat yourself!
