New Website coming soon...

I wanted to apologise for my lack of website recently. This is due to it being hacked a number of times over the past few months so I have decided to create a new site.

If you need to get in touch regarding buying any artwork or commissioning me please e-mail kate@cardigan.ltd.uk. I have temporarily set up a facebook account :Kate Jenkins Art where you will find details about new work for sale and events and exhibitions I am working on. I am also on Instagram @kjcardigan and also on twitter @KnittedArt so you know how to contact me.

I'm looking forward to launching the new site shortly where it will be business as usual.

Thankyou all for your support and patience!

Best Wishes

Kate
