What's on and coming up...

Here's what's happening in our creative space, the Sail Loft, the NaviStitch shop, and on Manningtree High Street over the coming weeks...

In the Sail Loft

The Sail Loft Gallery is buzzing! 🎨✨


Our Autumn Exhibition has only been open for a week, but already the walls are alive with fresh styles and visitors discovering new favourites.


Nearly 50 artists are showing work across painting, textiles, photography, ceramics, sculpture & more, and they're all here until 11th October so there's plenty of time to drop in a pick out a favourite (or two!).


Don't forget, anything you find in the browsers, we can help you with a bespoke framing services - that also goes for pieces that you have at home and that need to become display ready! I'm usually here most of the week - call in and have a chat, or get in touch if you have any questions.

Workshops update

Don't forget that my Paper Embroidery workshops are now booking for the end of next month - get yourself a place if you fancy trying something new; something that you can take home and practice until you're perfect!

📅 Botanical Paper Embroidery – Saturday 25th October

📅 Coastal Paper Embroidery – Sunday 26th October

Both are available to book on my website now.
