Picture this. I am exhibiting at the weekend. My mosaic art is on display as part of the annual “Artsists Open House”. The sun is pouring in, catching the edges of tiles and glass, making it gleam. My daughter, Isabella, comes for a visit. After a while of hanging around, she takes a piece of […] Read more...
My mosaics in new Stampington mag!
This weekend has seen me doing the Wandsworth Artists Open House whilst the capital basked in this most bizarre but lovely 30 degree heat. Lots of people came, ‘oohed’ and ‘ahhed’ at the gleaming glass art of Sally Dunnet combined with the shimmering mosaics of yours truly. It has been lovely meeting so many […] Read more...
Origin contemporary craft…or is it art?!
Please excuse the silence on this blog. I do aim to post at least once a week, but sometimes life takes its own twists and turns, which it did last week with the sadness of a family bereavement. On Saturday, I appreciated the opportunity for some space to just think and be, as I went […] Read more...
Must see…!
What an amazing treat. An invitation to the private view of the most delicious collection of mosaic sculpture here in London. I walked in the door and began ooohing and ahhing right away. The Piecemaker exhibition at the wonderful London Glass Blowing Centre (worth a visit in its own right) brought together the collection of […] Read more...

By Karla Duterloo Sorry, didn’t get the artists name. If anyone […] Read more...
Being absurdly delighted…
A quick little pit stop to say hello as we are in the midst of washing piles of laundry after a beautiful week camping on the Norfolk coast… and getting ready to go to the Greenbelt Arts festival. We have been relishing beaches, waves, woodland walks and some of the traditions of a British […] Read more...
Summer in the City
This week, being a tourist in our beloved London. Houses of Parliament from the Abbey Gardens (free to enter, very quiet and peaceful place) Despite recent events just up the road from us, scary and unnerving, we keep …our eyes locked on the overwhelmingly bigger amount of good (see here and here and here) ..our […] Read more...
New (he)art work…
Some stuff comes from deep within… Here is my latest offering to the world. It’s 51cm x 77cm and made from vitreous and porcelain tile, glitter tile, ceramic tile and glass nuggets. There is a lot of iridescence in it (so hard to capture well on photo). If you are in the South of England, […] Read more...

This post is a reflection on the last year- what I learnt and what I have achieved. Its been a full-on and amazing year for me and […] Read more...
