About

I make things. Half knit, half sew. Half art, half design. Half textiles, half paper. I’m somewhere in the middle of this lot. I like: keeping notebooks, wide open spaces, barkcloth, birds, car boot sales, travelling, DMs, old worn stuff, museums, digestive biscuits, tidying, garden sheds, aniseed, wrapping things.
