​I first tried wood block printing in 2021 and was immediately hooked on the ease and impact of using a wood block to print onto fabric and paper. I love the feel and weight of the hand carved blocks (all made by Indian artisans) and print with them using vibrant fabric paint colours to give a bold image.
My background prior to printing was in Social Work, recruiting and training Foster Carers, but I've always made time to be creative. I enjoy sewing and needlework to help me relax and unwind from work stresses.
What started out as a personal hobby, has grown to me cultivating a vast collection of hand carved Indian wood blocks. I use these to lead block print workshops across West and East Sussex printing onto paper and fabric to make beutiful items for the home or to share.
People enjoy coming on my workshops to learn a new skill and explore a craft that is easy to master with inspiration and support - which is why my cushion cover workshops are particularly popular. At Christmas i lead short workshop get togethers to design and print Christmas cards and gift wrap/tags and also festive napkins and winter themed table runners with beautiful red berries and green holly/ivy stamps.
