When not at poponin, my arts and crafts venue, you will likely find me in the Studio, loving nicknamed “The Shed”.

Inside “The Shed” I simply enjoy being creative.  For me its the process rather than the outcome. If something comes out well;  “yippeee do”.    I am constantly learning, do a lot wrong, often marvel when something goes to plan, and laugh at myself..alot!  Sometimes when I get things right I take the plunge & share them or gift them to others.  

Through putting a few pieces on show at poponin, to give visitors ideas & inspiration, I started to get asked if my pieces could be bought or if I could make something similar for them.  I was often so surprised and also very honoured.  Through their encouragement, enthusiasm and also the massive support of family and friends I decided to use lockdowns to see how things developed – it also gave me something to do and focus on!

I was asked why the name ‘Studio13cats’ –  Its none other than finding a name that was available across so many platforms and linking it to something I already had. I definitely don’t have 13 cats! 😸
