A couple of years ago I had enough money and time to do a week of intensive contemporary dance classes at the Place, London. 3 a day! It was wonderful. I danced all week and my muscles ached SO MUCH but i felt totally powerful. This is some of the sketchbook I drew that week. Imagine if your job was dancing?!

Paper plate handweaving workshop – 2 hours. including painting the plate and creative art weaving! 

Some nice bold patterns on these mini tapestries I’ve been experimenting with. They’re about 20cm tall. the shapes are inspired by the colours, if that makes sense. easy weaving! could be hung as a nice display on a bit of dowel. 

My work at our three-person show COLOR JANGLE 2013 at LeCoccole, in Osaka, Japan. Silk screen prints, weaving and painting on show. The large pineapple painting and the 5 small pineapple paintings are by Junichi Okada.

This workshop was run twice over the exhibition period. We did handweaving – backstrap weaving from scratch, without a fixed heddle. We used yarn and chopsticks to separate the yarn for weaving.  The workshop took 3 hours, and the participants took home their weaving to complete at home.
