Jill's Creative Space

One of the most important items in my studio, being a textile artist, is my ironing board.

Here I am ironing some fabrics I have dyed or painted for some landscape work.
Behind me is my cutting and layout table with a pile of sketchbooks in which I doodle and work out preliminary ideas. The area is supervised by a teddy bear which my husband gave me.

While continuing with work in progress I am also in the early stages of planning some
new work. I’ve done some preliminary sketches and here I am in my studio
comparing my palette with a selection of fabrics from my stash - but there are
many more to look at and many more sketches as well!
