Catherine entertained us with slides of her work, many of which have won prizes, and explained her way of working. She predominately uses red for her lettering because of the red rose of Lancashire, the county she is from.
She also brought along many of her pieces of work which were much admired with a sense of wonder that anything so small could be so neat.
