In 2020 I had booked a stand at the British Craft Trade Fair which had been held in Harrogate for the last 44 years. I first attended back in 2012 and this was going to be my first time back there for a few years, unfortunately due to Covid-19 the live fair wasn't able to go ahead and it was held online instead. This was a shame, I had been looking forward to meeting other makers and connecting with buyers from shops and galleries in person. I was still able to make some new connections online but the big surprise that came from the online event was hearing that I was one of the winners of The PlatForm and Function Award sponsored by The Platform Gallery.
