SAVE THE DATE.
I am really excited to announce I will be having an open studio event at my home in Twyford just before Christmas. You will be able to see my newest jewellery designs and buy my always popular papyrus plants, cards and my upcoming book (if I get it finished in time 😀).
I will be doing this event together with four of my neighbouring artist friends who will also be opening their studios. Below you will find our press release with more information.
Hope to see you there.
Press release:
Artists Sally Castle, Rebecca Howard, Heather McAteer, Marianne McCaughey and Linda Saul will be opening their home studios to the public.

All artists will be on hand to discuss their practice and answer any questions you may have about their work.
