There's a wide range of materials in the colourful creations that I make in my seaside studio. Fabric, thread, paper, metal foil, found and natural objects. If I can get it under my sewing machine I will have a go at stitching it! Most of the results are intended, primarily, to give enjoyment but some are useful too. Book covers and bags, wall hangings and textile jewellery are just some of the things that come into being in such inspirational surroundings.

Alison Clarke works in a wide range of materials - basically if it will fit into the sewing machine it could be used! Typically Alison makes gifts and keepsakes such as book covers, bags, wall hangings and textile jewellery.

That's Alison! Wizards are available ready-made or for the more adventurous, in kit form to take away and assemble at home.

Having a studio with sea views means that seascapes are a regular staple of Alison's work, but she does much else besides.
