Who would have thought that our lives could change so quickly? Having already postponed or cancelled my March and April classes it looks increasingly likely that I’ll have to do the same for May … and who knows how much further out. Like many self-employed people it is impossible not to worry about the financial implications of this. Worry is a bit of an understatement. But having wallowed in self pity (and gin) for a few days I have pulled myself together and got busy!

And so I am very pleased to announce that I have now expanded the shop on my website to include dyes, textile inks, acrylic shapes and other stuff that I use all the time in my studio. In the next few days I will also be adding a small range of thermofax screens designed by yours truly. And, as the days / weeks go by I will be adding packs of hand dyed and printed fabrics. Developing an online shop has been on my to-do list for a while. It is horrid that it has taken this crisis to make me sit down and do it but there you go.

It may be that online trading becomes impossible if things get really but for now I am shipping using Royal Mail. The one bit of bad news though is that I am only shipping within the UK from today. Whilst stuff is still moving internationally I suspect that this will become increasingly unreliable as the weeks go buy. Those of you in the US who want to buy my book can do so from Dharma Trading Co whilst they have stock.

(This has all been done in a bit of a hurry by a seriously distracted Leah so please help me out and let me know if bits of the website don’t work!)

Stay safe, stay well,
