The Surrey Guild of Craftsmen's touring exhibition - Elements Redefined - will be moving on to its final venue at Denbies Wine Estate, Dorking, Surrey in March 2022.
Some of the original work has of course been sold, but new additions are to the same high standard. Denbies is open every day of the week and with a gift shop, intersting walks and a cafe too you can have a lovely day out (if you choose a sunny day!) Meanwhile you will find my work listed on www.silkpurseguild.com www.surreyguildofcraftsmen.co.uk/online Workshops (face to face or workshop kits) are also listed on www.craftcourses.com. Plaster casts will, increasingly, be added to this website but in the meantime, do contact me if you like the idea of something simple and classy for a gift. They range from £30.00 for a small circular plaque to £95.00 with plenty more around £30-50.00. Workshops in a Wallet have proved incredibly popular during the months of lockdowns - I'm so pleased so many people are still keen to learn about feltmaking! The kits include everything except my presence. These will continue to be available by emailing me, or from www.craftcourses.com and from www.silkpurseguild.com You will find my Well Urned Rest page has not progressed very much - a combination of some teething problems with the website AND with some of the designs as there's a lot of redesigning going on! then I broke my wrist which has hampered me more than I though possible! Anyway, I hope you will check out www.wellurnedrest.com from time to time and also the facebook page: www.facebook.com/wellurnedrest. I've sold some of my lovely vessels just as decorative items - unusual gifts for a wedding, perhaps, or just for something eye-catching at home. CARDS I will continue to sell cards - those below are just a few designs painted by my son Thomas who is a research scientist in Australia. Painting is his relaxation and an antidote to looking down a microscope. Cards are £3.50 each including an envelope and postage is included. A selection of my own cards can be seen at The Surrey Guild shop in Milford. You will find some of my own designs are listed on www.silkpurseguild.com in packs of five or eight - obviously a saving on ordering them individually.

WORKSHOPS As many of you already know, I don't timetable classes but just agree dates with everyone individually. These are the current workshops, all a great introduction to wetfelting with a resist (essentially making a 3D item) Loving Lavender - heart shaped sachets for you to add your own scent, whether lavender or something else. And you can make them in any colour you like! A Rose by any other Name - make a small rose-topped trinket pot (as above) Pods and Pots - producing a bowl or 'pod' big enough to gather small items Gone to Seed - smaller pods with a seed and tendrils to use as a room scent (as in the top picture) Fun with Felt Flowers - two felt flower brooches: another great workshop for those relatively new to felting. Cosy Mitts - fingerless mitts in 2-3 colours with or without a decorative design. These classes are 3 hours long (often run over) and cost £45.00 including all materials. I also offer a £10 discount for your own workshop if you bring a friend with you. A two-hour workshop making lavender hearts is also available. I am no longer running Memories Baskets workshops. MEMORIES BASKETS MADE FOR YOU Baskets can be made specially for you. I call these Memories Baskets because they are made of fabrics that mean something special to you. This is a much better way to 'hoard' them, than a box of old clothes! I can also make baskets in my own fabrics (or a mixture of both yours and mine) to match your colour preferences.
