FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE Whatever you do and however much you raise, your money will help save lives and support sick children and their families at Bristol Children’s Hospital. Over 100,000 children from across Bristol, the South West and South Wales are treated at Bristol Children’s Hospital every year. Many of the young patients are local children, while some families travel across the region for specialist care and others from the whole of the UK for bone marrow transplants. The Grand Appeal supports Bristol Children’s Hospital with pioneering, life-saving equipment and research, including ventilators, a cardiac hybrid theatre and an inter-operative MRI scanner, so that each child receives the best care possible. We offer comfort through our Grand Appeal family support worker and our home-from-home accommodation, where parents and siblings stay free of charge, for as long as they need. We ensure the hospital is a vibrant and child friendly place and help distract the young patients through our music therapy, art and play programmes. But none of this would be possible without you. By fundraising you are helping to give every child the care they need, and the chance they deserve.

I established my practice in 2010 and work with a mixture of materials from vitreous glass and ceramic through to natural marble and slate, often incorporating individual pieces of vintage porcelain or found materials. I am largely inspired by the natural environment and like to work in a freehand and organic way guided by the materials from which I am working. Materials are skilfully cut and shaped by hand, which in turn makes each design unique and a one off. I work on a variety of public and private commissions, schools and community arts projects and run a programme of workshops from my Edwalton studio. Clients include schools, councils, community groups, businesses and a variety of private customers. Professional member of the British Association for Modern Mosaic. My previous career was in marketing and product development so I have strong inter-personal skills and experience in managing projects, working to timescales and budgets.

  • 7He Bristol Harbour Festival Starts This Friday!
    Hi there! In Bristol’s Harbourside - this is a big weekend! The Bristol Harbour Festival starts this Friday! And there’s an enormous amount of choice – such a lot to do. It's that time of year and I will be hanging out the bunting and getting into the spirit of it all! We are blessed for this year's event with a multitude of music acts, dance performances and taster sessions, theatre groups, circus performances and much, much more! There's plenty going on in the water this festival - and new for this year there are the Power8 Sprints rowing teams from all around the country. We have the regular Newfoundland rescue dogs showing off their skills in the water, and the man in the air Aeronautical display! All of these promise to be captivating to watch - And then there's the cardboard boat race - how could you miss that! The Circus area this year will be in Queen's Square - and will celebrate the 250 year anniversary of Circus in Britain. I'll be heading over to take a look. Then there's Batala Bristol Samba Drummers - just about recovered from St Pauls Carnival! - playing outside the Ostrich Pub. One of my neighbours plays for them - so I'll be dancing around to their amazing beats and rhythms. And fireworks! Did I mention them? They provide the fantastic highlight for Saturday night! The Grain Barge on Hotwells Road is one of the music settings - and is opposite me in Bristol Marina. So I can watch from the roof of my boat - or perhaps I'll row over in my dinghy! Steering well clear of any super fast Power8 rowers of course! So that's great - when you can go home when you have had enough! Buuuut when you live here ....
