A much improved photo of cuffs with wrists (not mine). Taking this photo was the only work I did yesterday, which was a joyous novelty. I sat in the sun, knitted, cuddled the cat, watched tv. Not all at the same time. I really deserved a rest. I finished the residency at Bilston on Saturday…

I’ve felt all relaxed for a week since the exhibition opened, and taken things a bit more easy than I have been. Not surprisingly, my task list has continued to lengthen and Update Blog has slid further down. I’ve got a lot to say, but no desire to stay up half the night to say…

The residency showcase exhibition has opened! I’ve been flat out the last few weeks getting work ready for this, and was really pleased to see it finally open last night. I completed nine pieces of new work, ranging from a set of simple paper sculptures to this black jacket. My key aim in the residency…

My exhibition has opened – read all about it and see more images here.I’m so relieved to have it completed and open. I haven’t managed to get all the pieces photographed as it was dark by the time we had finished setting up, but there are a few more here. I’ve got three more workshops…

Or there. Not enough time in either place really. I’m frantically sewing things up for my residency exhibition which opens in nine days, most of which I have other plans for.

Thanks for all your comments on pricing! Things are hotting up over here. I just thought this afternoon that one answer to all the pricing questions (that all us makers get) is this – how much would you expect to pay a plumber? or any other skilled professional whose work takes time and expertise? Quite…

I’m just starting to sort things out for a spring sale of samples and old stock. The first few pieces are up on Etsy so do go and have a look if you want to get a Ruth Singer original for at least 50% off normal price! More things will go up when I get…

Hello to all the new visitors coming over thanks to my mention on Whip Up. I should do more tutorials if they are this popular! And also thanks to all the new commenters who have passed by recently and thanks for the birthday wishes from the other week. I’ve not got time to reply individually…

I had a really frustrating day in the studio today. Took loads of photos and only the non-urgent ones came out well. I’ve spent the evening trying to rescue them and have given up. I just have t pray for sunshine on Monday so I can try again in natural light… After 2 hours of…
