Reposted from Tamzen’s Instagram-
“So this happened! Thank you, @craft.ni and curator and guest judge Annie Cattrell, for the “emerging maker award”!! That’s my ‘are they serious, did I hear that right?’ face… and the picture secretly snapped by my mentor and friend @veramcevoy …
A gorgeous exhibition, Pathways, in the heart of Belfast… a wonderful shop too full of great goodies for Christmas and birthdays, supporting local makers… I wish every county in Ireland had a hub of support like this one!
Thanks again for the recognition; so proud and delighted… it’s not often a wee piece of textiles gets to share the platforms with ceramics, glass and jewellery … but there you go. Happy days.”
