Pheonix Fiesta
My one and only fair this winter, Pheonix Fiesta celebrates 40 years of Cardiff Women’s Aid! There’ll be loads of craft stalls selling unique handmade gifts and excellent grub, live music, including Sian Evans (Kosheen) and The Gentle Good, free workshops and circus stuff! Do come along!

It’s such a captivating process, like watching a drop of oil creeping across the surface of water. I will be making a lot more pieces in this style!
