Working to commission for corporate and private clients, or purely for my own pleasure, I create unusual furniture and sculptural pieces, with a particular passion for chairs. Adding other materials to the mix such as glass, steel or bone expands the boundaries of what’s possible.

What to expect: Expect the unexpected and the bizarre, and prepare to be amazed at the scale, quality, and intrigue of my works. Enjoy the sight, touch, and scent of the raw timber; study and hold the woodworking tools in my contemporary, spacious workshop.

My fascination for textiles – from original, digitally printed, repurposed, to naturally dyed and everything inbetween –continues to thrive at my home and garden studio, where I have the freedom to experiment and research. My love for art history and anthropology is prevalent as inspiration.

What to expect: My home and garden studio at Shepherdess Cottage will have an eclectic mix of original, hand dyed, ecoprinted, digitally printed and repurposed textiles – patchworked into art wear or as limited edition accessories. Experiments from recent collaborations will be on show with work for sale.

I'm drawn to images of metamorphosis and ambiguity, often inspired by a poem or story. I try to suggest shapes rather than making them explicit. A flame can also be a feather or a bird the body of a fish.

What to expect: I'll be displaying a range of mobiles from large ones to smaller more personal ones. I'd be delighted to talk to people about my work and demonstrate the materials, tools and equipment. There will also be a chance to play with cardboard mobile kits.

Directions: From Auchencairn, follow the A711 past the Wickerman. Take the next right-hand turn. We're the third house on the right, with metal gates and a sign on the post.

Accessibility: The parking is a gravel drive which is level with the studio floor but the toilet access is a little narrow for a wheelchair.
