2012 has gone off to a great start for Betty's Revenge hence the cyber silence. I've moved my studio to Creekside in Deptford so I'm now truly surrounded by fellow artists and designers. I've also started working with the Constance Howard Textiles Collection and the Women's Art Library Board at Goldsmiths University down the road.
In addition I've started freelancing for Zara, watch this space for my designs in the shops! More plans and events are also afoot...
Can't believe it's late January but am so enjoying the mildness and sunshine! I am very pleased to report that Betty's Revenge has been picked out by the global forecasting site WGSN on its homebuildlife blog.
This screen print design was based on a combination of 50s and Islamic art and printed onto wooden flooring.
Please come along to the Christmas collaborative exhibition at the Art Hub Gallery on Creekside in Deptford (designers from studios on Creekside and in Charlton will be joining together). I am taking part and you are very welcome to the Private View on 2nd December.
Typically I'm in bed with flu but thankfully Nick Cobbing can be relied upon to take a good picture! My print studio is right next to the Thames Barrier, the new Rainbow Warrior is pictured sailing into London on her maiden tour, after leaving Amsterdam on Sunday.
At 1pm on Saturday 24th Sep, the Fashion & Textile Museum Fashion Show in the Park brings an exclusive preview of work from Zandra Rhodes, Susie Stone and emerging designers from Newham College. This is part of the Bermondsey Street Festival.
I am taking part in Wall to Wall which is a collaborative exhibition for studios at the Art Hub. This takes place 24th September to 2nd October at the Art Hub Gallery at the Deptford site on Creekside. Opening times are Sat/Sun 24th/25th/1st/2nd 12-6pm. The exhibition launches the new gallery but is also part of the Deptford X Festival. The programme looks huge so will definitely be found wandering around Deptford the last week of September!
