The beginning of the year is traditionally a time for plans
and resolutions. I’ve started the year by taking part in Jane Fullman’s Instagram
lace challenge, which runs throughout January, and is a great way of looking at
your own work through a different lens and discovering interesting work by
other people. So a good start to the year. I’m finalising the paper I’ve
written about my dinner mats project inspired by the life and work of Amy Atkin,
the first female Nottingham machine lace designer, and have various other
writing projects on the go as well. As far as practice is concerned I’m working
towards a group exhibition resulting from a study trip to Japan, which will be shown
in the Craft Study Centre at Farnham and Gallery Gallery in Kyoto in 2022 and
hopefully some other venues too. I’m also continuing with my series of doilies
inspired by feminism and the unhomely and once I have a collection ready will
be looking for an exhibition space for those and for the dinner mats project. However,
exhibiting is not easy at the moment so I may have to be a little bit inventive
in finding venues or even attempt an online exhibition.
