Hammock time in the willow Grove.
Making space to process all the ideas and input inspired by my visit to the craft festival in Bovey Tracey yesterday.

Inspiration and flow from the willows ✨️ ❤️

I got the funding!

Just found out that my application for a research and development Grant from the Arts Council was successful.
Stunned, tears of delight and overwhelm.. I didn't realise just how much I've been metaphorically holding my breath awaiting the result since I submitted my application at the start of February.

I spent the whole of January writing the application. I couldn't and perhaps wouldn't have done it without the incredible support from my creative business mentor and friend Rajni. He is amazing- https://theartofthepossible.co.uk/

I'm so looking forward to this year, working, playing and studying with the following artists and artisans. @coppiceandcolour @peterlanyonfurniture @drawnoutinon @karajchambers @ellawhittlestone @isabelcoulton @flo.pearson to name a few.

Feeling blessed and deeply grateful to the Arts Council for making this possible.
The project begins on 8th June and if you would like to follow my journey I'll be posting highlights here and in more detail on my website.
I've called the project “the Breathing weave”
I'm so ready for a year to feed, nourish and replenish myself through my creative practice and give myself the space to invent, skill up and experiment with the new techniques I will be learning and merging them with the old ones.

Happy afternoon in the garden. Been meaning to try this for ages. Spurred into action mold blooming on the bark. Hard to store this fibre in the workshop at this time of year. The damp gets in. So a good boil and strip and the fibres clear and ready to weave.
Good fireside medicine time too.
