Good Grief!

As previously mentioned, my necklaces are available to buy from zine shop GOOD GRIEF which is situated in Soup Kitchen, in Manchester's Northern Quarter. Shop keep Dave stocks a beautiful variety of zines, limited edition prints and t-shirts. Go have a look and find something handmade by an independent artist.

Getting Excited!

.....about what we are doing as Sacred Geometry. We are currently building up a collection of garments and accessories to launch upon the world! And we are hoping to have a fun photo shoot on Tuesday, if the weather holds out!!!

Here's a few images by Alex de Mora that have really inspired me over the last few days.

Sacred Geometry

Over the last few months, my friend Anna Beam and I have been working together as Sacred Geometry, as prop makers, garment and accessory makers and stylists. It's going well, and I'm happy to be working with such a good friend, doing things that I love!

Here's a little summary of some of the things that we have been working on, but please have a look at our blog. We will have a website up soon.

PING PONG!

Here are some beautiful photos of my ping pong bat covers, taken by Helen Collett, of Ping Pong Club.

Ping Pong at Future Everything

The amazing girls at Ping Pong Club in Manchester have come together with Future Everything Festival to host, as well as their usual club night, a ping pong symposium and exhibition.
Some of my best buds have customised (and vandalised) ping pong bats to make them something new and exciting. For more information on the artists and what's going one see the event info here.

My contribution to the exhibition is a range of ultra-glam ping pong bat covers, for the player who needs a bat cover with more appeal.




The exhibition is being held in the Umbro HQ on Dale Street, which is serving as the music hub and wristband collection point. The space is open from 11th - 14th of May, but the private view and closing party is being held here on Saturday 14th. Come along!

My necklaces in GOOD GRIEF

The below necklaces and some prints of mine are available to buy from GOOD GRIEF in Soup Kitchen in Manchester's Northern quarter.

These pieces are very tactile, combining velvet, metal, tassels and print.
