A Creative Start to the Year: January in the Studio

January is always a time to reset, recharge, and plan creatively - and this year has been no exception. After the busy festive season, stepping back into the studio with fresh energy has allowed space for new ideas and inspiration.

This month I’ve been developing a brand-new hand-painted vase collection alongside original canvas artwork. Each piece is created with colour, texture and movement in mind, designed to bring warmth and personality into everyday spaces. All new artwork is available through my online shop for anyone looking to add unique handmade art to their home.

Beyond studio time, I’ve been running art workshops in Bristol. These workshops offer a relaxed environment where people of all abilities can enjoy painting, unwind, and reconnect with creativity.

I also attended a local maker pop-up event organised by Circular Artspace - a reminder of how vibrant and supportive the Bristol creative community is.

Looking ahead, I’m preparing new workshop themes and will be returning to the Indoor Market in Kingswood for a February pop-up showcasing fresh artwork and gifts. There’s a lot to look forward to, and I’m excited to continue sharing this journey.
