Winter Open Studios This Weekend :-)

Life is starting to feel distinctly Christmassy this week!
Portrait by photographer Peter Defty

Just thought I’d show my face and show you this fabulous portrait of me by photographer Peter Defty, taken a few years ago. It’s not often I get on with a photo of myself, but I love this one!
When I turned up at his studio he had spent a happy  hour building the pile of vintage annuals for me to perch on top of… genius idea!
This photograph was included in a stunning exhibition of Peter’s portrait photography ‘The Outlaw Project’ at Dean Clough Galleries last summer.
I can’tpromise to be perched on a pile on annuals in my own studio this weekend, but do come and visit me anyway!!

Visit me in my studio this Saturday & Sunday
Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th December
11am to 5pm

Festive Open Studio!!
I’m looking forward to welcoming visitors into my studio Northlight as part of the Festive Open Studios Weekend in Hebden Bridge 🙂

Pop along to our wonderful Northlight Winter Fair, full of stalls and artists: including Rach RedKatch SkinnerAnnie HarrisonRachel HPete & Carol Leonard and more! Plus mulled wine, tea, cake and a raffle!
Then head on up the central stairs to find my Open Studio. Also opening their studios will be Toby Cotterill and Jane Revitt 🙂

**Please Note: we are not open on Friday 5th**
(please email me if you are unable to visit on Saturday or Sunday and would like to make a private appointment for Friday)

Park & Ride!
If you are travelling by car, be aware that parking in Hebden Bridge can be tricky. I would advise you to take advantage of the Park & Ride at Mytholmroyd train station car park, running every 10-15 minutes on Saturday & Sunday.

New Square format Card designs 🙂

New in my online shop this week are these fresh square designs to replace the old long cards designs: ‘Odyssey‘; ‘Fairy Books‘ and ‘Scotland‘, along with a new rainbow design ‘Penguin Pride‘.
