Marie Claire in the studio

Here's a little sneak peak of the crew from Marie Claire at my studio this week, they came to photograph Laura Stephenson and I for their May issue (out in April). I am mentoring Laura who is a talented textile designer, on the Inspire and Mentor scheme set up exclusively by Marie Claire last May - this issue they shall be reviewing some of the inspirational group of designers, artists, photographers, make up artists, chefs to name a few.
