Bridget’s artworks combine intricate making with the down-to-earth approach of an allotment gardener. From millinery and textiles to fly-tying, techniques and materials cross pollinate as they grow from the creative compost of her life as a maker. Bridget’s pieces explore how nature works as well as how it looks and reveal some intriguing parallels between making and the way nature evolves.
