As an creative practitioner, I am involved in various projects based in my local area. You can find out more on this page.

The In-House Arts group is based at Otley Courthouse. A small group of volunteers, we organise the monthly art exhibitions for the walls of the arts centre, and display craft items in the cabinets.
We run art and craft sessions in holiday time for children aged 6-12.
COMING SOON:
'Montmartre at the Buttercross' in Otley Market Place. Artists will besetting up easels and painting iin the Market Place, outside the courthouse, and outside Art 4 All. Everyone is welcome to come and join in!

Craft Soup was born in March 2011 when a group of crafters in the Yorkshire area met for tea, cake and chat. A Facebook group was started and has gone from 8 members to 93 in just a few months! We share events, ideas, (and general nonsense too!) and now have our own zine.

If you are a maker or an artist and you live vaguely in the vicinity of West Yorkshire, join our group! Share links, promote your business, join Twitter and use the #saltstweetup hashtag to arrange meet and greets, skill-sharing events, swishing events for craft materials and most importantly - cake, coffee and crafty chat!

I was fortunate to be chosen as one of the nine artists for the third Artist Carousel which ran from November 2010 to July 2011, culminating in an exhibition in Leeds City Centre. To read more and see pictures of workshops and the exhibition, click the link above.
