I finished my Foundation Degree in 2013 and had great success selling my Bags and Pinnies at the Exhibition, I have since featured them in a number of venues including the Knitting Stitching show at Alexandra Palace, The Designer Guild Shop at Pall Mall Galleries and the ICHF show at NEC Birmingham.
Exhibiting means I have had the chance to meet a great number of new people. I really enjoy sharing my enthusiasm through my talks and workshops.
In 2018 I was lucky to be asked to run a weeks residential course at Crafty Retreats, Nr Limoges, France. It was very rewarding to be able to spend a whole week working with students, some lovely designs were produced.
I have also visited Jersey and worked at the beautiful Harbour Gallery
I am constantly getting new ideas for designs and this keeps me busy printing new fabrics. I have great fun trying out the new prints. Please have a look my shop page.
I have been a member of Zero Nine Textile Artists since the group began. We were all at college together doing our City and Guilds.Since then we have exhibited together as well as doing our own exhibitions and work. Please visit the Zero Nine Textile Artists site.
I have had the opportunity to run courses for Art Van Go in Knebworth as well as on their stand at various shows. I am also running a print course at Ashcroft Arts Centre

Just a quick message to say how much I enjoyed your talk at North Hampshire Quilters yesterday evening. To hear your personal anecdotes and how stitching has become the focus of your life was inspirational – and amusing.
Thank you so much. What a great group. Wish you all great success xx
Dear Alison
I am writing to invite you to visit the N.Ireland Embroidery Guild as a guest speaker. We are a group of about 80 women who meet once a month to enjoy talks and workshops from invited speakers. Would you be interested in coming over to N.Ireland? I do hope so! Fees and expenses would of course be paid. Please let me know if you have any interest and I can send you more information to help you decide!
Looking forward to hearing from you
Best wishes

Hello Alison,
I am Edaein Samuels, I am exhibiting work in the Crawford College of Art stand at the RDS Kitting and Stitching show. Pamela Hardesty let me know you are interested in talking to me?

Just wanted to say how much I liked your work. It was my favourite among wonderful work. Well done all x
