Paper lamination workshop with the wonderful Christine Chester
Just spent a brilliant couple of days with Christine Chester who travelled all the way from Eastbourne to Suffolk to run a workshop on paper lamination with Out Of The Fold. Here are two of my pieces layered up and ready to stitch. The Gesso lamination process we did today is now drying in the airing cupboard - can't wait for the rip and reveal tomorrow and will upload those images for you to see too.

From The Earth exhibition
I am delighted that 'From Shawl to Shroud' has been selected for the very first From The Earth exhibition.
This group, set up by Alice Fox and Caroline Bell, are promoting the use of only natural and green processes in textile art. Everything used must be either natural or recycled www.fromtheearthtextiles.co.uk
Originally made for the Out Of The Fold gallery at the Knitting and Stitching shows in 2014 my piece is made from recycled calico coffin cover and is rust dyed using recycled sofa springs. Mostly hand stitched.
The exhibition will take place during the month of June in the Mardelybury Gallery, Datchwood, Herts (near ArtVanGo) www.psarts.co.uk
