I am based in North West Suffolk and am happy to receive visitors and discuss leatherwork commissions or other leatherwork enquiries - please ring first to make sure I'll be in. I have a permanent selection of items for sale at The Marketplace, 8 Market Square, Diss, IP22 4AB. In recent years I have cut back on the number of shows I do (trying to reduce the number of times we have to put up the gazebo). The plans for 2026 are still provisiuonal but here's what I'm hoping to do:
Date Show Time Postcode

29 Aug - Suffolk Craft Society Summer Exhibition at Ickworth House 10- 4 IP29 5RL

?Nov March Hare Collective - Ickworth House 10 - 4 IP29 5RL
? Nov Suffolk Craft Society Winter Exhibition at Bury Guildhall 10 - 4 IP29 1AL
In addition I am doing a few talks about my leatherworking:
