Hello!
I’m Nicola and The Craft Studio is where I explore and share my creativity, passion for making and my love of colours and textures.
My passion for textiles started at a young age when I was taught to embroider at 4 years old. I have tried many crafts since then, my current direction is more mixed media based, exploring layering of paint and fabrics and embellishing with stitch!
I am always learning, experimenting and pushing my creativity with new materials and techniques and I love sharing my enthusiasm with others in my programme of creative workshops.
It's me!
My Studio
After running a craft shop for many years, I now work form my home studio in Kineton, Warwickshire.
I still sell my makes online and at craft fairs, as well as a selection of mixed media works.
I take my inspiration from the world around me, be it flowers in the garden to the shapes in the landscape and architecture, my fascination for all things is boundless and I believe this is mirrored in my work.
My current work has been inspired by the seasons. From the big patchwork piece featured here to smaller mixed media pieces. Please view my Gallery for more images of my work

Sewing Alfresco
Sewing is at the heart of much of the mixed media work and Inspiration for my next craft studio project is never too far away!
In my spare time when I'm not in the studio I'm never far away from doing something creative. I love gardening and growing my own veg, exploring the countryside with my dogs, Betty and Pup. DIY projects and restoring our Victorian house. Attending car shows with my family and our collection of vintage cars
I have partnered with a family friend to establish Midland Sewing Machine Repairs, where we provide sewing machine servicing and repairs.
