As I made myself a new necklace from old beads on New Year’s Eve, I reflected how I rarely actually make something every day. Work gets in the way. I teach. I administrate. I clean the house. I walk in the countryside. Sometimes there just isn’t the time. I resolved to make time, each day, for even just a tiny bit of making. This year will, fortunately, full of making – unlike last year which was full of funding applications! I have two big exhibitions to make new work for, one at the end of the year and one in a couple of months.

I will be sharing my daily makes for 2015 on Instagram, hopefully every day for the rest of the year. Here is my first week.
