Featured Studio
Jill Maas Slightly Weathered Ladies
Hi, I’m Jill Maas and I work mainly with fabrics and textiles designing, teaching and making three dimensional characters.
Shifting homes last year was huge, we now live on a flat section in a single-story home, I still have a sunny working studio to ‘play’ in.
You will be very welcome to come and see my latest work.
