I acquired my studio, in central Ilkley, in May 2001. Built originally as a stable block - shire horses, riding horses and even pigs were housed there. Where I work was the hay loft and most of the buildings have doors to the front at first floor level.

I work on the first floor, with my sister Chris Bailey who works mainly with kiln-fused glass. Between us, we produce a great variety of stuff - oil paintings, watercolours, bronze sculpture and a good selection of ceramics, some porcelain and colourful fused glass work.


Ken Jaquiery works on the ground floor, producing large scale stoneware sculpture - Jackie Knight also works in ceramics. Phone or email Ken for more details about the pottery and his sculpture.

NEWS: Joined a select group of holidaymakers in Italy to advise on water colour painting ... a fantastic experience staying in a luxury hotel near Padua. A recent (2010) silkscreen printing course at West Yorkshire Print Workshop provided a welcome insight into the way fellow screenprinters work and there I produced my Owl and Griffin prints based on the carvings in the porch at St. Margaret's Church, Ilkley. Other recent screen prints, 2009/10, are based in and around the Bolton Abbey area - The Laund Oak and Bolton Abbey itself. In 2008, The Cow & Calf (again!) and in 2007 a series of silk screen prints of Ilkley - six subjects in total. This meant approximately 7 colours on each of 700 sheets of paper .... all in two and a half months to be ready for my exhibition at Lotherton Hall. The series has since proved very popular and the first numbers in each edition sold quickly. I am also finding that the original drawings of my screenprint editions sell well.
