THE Plough at Torrington will be hosting a book launch and talk from textile artist Jill Denton, who has produced her first book.

Jill will give a demonstration and short talk about the actual process of writing her craft book, from conception to publication. She will talk about the source of her inspiration for the 25 very different projects in the book, and there will be lots of tips for anyone considering embarking on a similar journey.
