Pomegranate Studio – because making is good for you
This is my first post on my blog on my lovely new website for Pomegranate Studio. I have started the studio as part of my post-academic teaching career. I am now a portfolio worker, which really seems to mean that I have more than one part-time money-making (fingers crossed) activity. The other main part of the portfolio is that I have trained to be a humanist celebrant specialising in non-religious naming ceremonies. This is not a blog about that work, so if you are interested please look at my Humanist UK site

This blog and site are for Pomegranate Studio. This is my textile work. I am going to pursue my own work and run small workshops for people who are interested in developing their work. So I will not be teaching basic patchwork (go to someone who does perfect points for that) or showing you how to make a particular bag or quilt, but rather, I hope, inspiring you to take an idea or a technique and run with it yourself.
The studio is lovely, the garden will be lovely in a couple of months, and there are loads of books and objects to inspire you. My dry runs have been great days and people have had lots of fun – as you can see in the photo at the top of the website.
I managed to get the square original to fit the box on the website pretty much on my own. So proud. Anyway, a few more photos of the studio for you to inspect, and then normal service will be resumed in the next post:
Wow this looks fab-can’t wait to get my hands on that glue gun again!
