Arundel Gallery Trail 2026
My work is currently in the Arundel Gallery Trail, at Venue 19 in Maltravers Street.
I’m delighted to have been asked to exhibit at the Arundel Gallery Trail this year. My work is alongside that of wonderful painters and hosts Sally Burtles and David Thomas at Venue 19 in Maltravers Street. I was going to say that if you’re in the area, please go take a look but actually it’s well worth a full day (or longer) out in historic and picturesque Arundel, with a huge and well preserved castle, many period buildings, atmospheric winding streets, an imposing cathedral and interesting antique shops.
The quality of the works on show throughout Gallery Trail in the town are incredible - I’m showing next door to a retrospective of world renowned ceramicist Derek Davis, by his son…and I did hear a rumour that a certain London museum may be looking to acquire a piece or two.
Meanwhile, my own humble offerings are in the window of a gorgeous, welcoming space which is flooded with light and surrounded by beautiful paintings. I’m thrilled!
Musings
Postgrad Show UCA Masters
August 2024
Whilst I wait for my Master of Arts results, I took part in our Post Grad Exhibition at the James Hockey Gallery, UCA, Farnham. What a wonderful experience! The Private View was very busy and there were lots of interested people wanting to discuss my work, something I’m not used to but rather enjoyed. Whilst invigilating, I got to spend time admiring and discussing the work of my peers as I showed visitors around. The scale of the works varied from ceramics taking up almost the full height of the gallery, down to pieces as small as a single bird bone. We’re dismantling the exhibition tomorrow, and I’ll be considering the next adventure.
Artist in Residence University for the Creative Arts
Artist in Residence - Jewellery at UCA, Farnham.
Exciting news! I am thrilled to have been awarded the position of Artist in Residence for Jewellery at UCA, for one year commencing on 23rd September 2024. I will be based in the jewellery workshop on Farnham campus.
For a full 12 months, I will have the chance to develop my own work and to access the full resources available on campus. I’ll also be working with students, running workshops and sharing my knowledge and experiences where I can. I’m so excited to be involved, and honestly can’t wait to get started. It will be wonderful to spend self guided time experimenting and pushing my designs as well as technical skills further, but I’m just as excited to be spending time with a diverse group of jewellery students.
