Barbara L Smith

Great to get response from Barbara re her show at the Barbican in 1999. Still waiting to hear from the embroiderers guild on what they have from the exhibition. Barbara sent some lovely pictures and ideas of people to look at for inspiration! Feeling re-inspired to make more…..watch this space….my Pinterest board is growing!

Just spent a great day in the new forest felting with Sarah. Sarah introduced me to nuno felting…fantastic! We went for a very wet walk to see the fantastic art work in the village hall at Woodgreen..AMAZING! Murals painted by students of Central St Martins Art College in the 1930s…wonderful.
