About Me
I've been teaching workshops for 25 years now and I still get so much joy from it. It's a really important part of my creative practice and I love the buzz of meeting and working with new people. I really enjoy being able to help others feel confident learning a new skill, to have fun and hopefully go home feeling inspired.
My Favourite Things
I love learning new creative techniques, and have recently been teaching myself how to do tufting, french knitting, weaving and crochet. I also love inspirational art books and exhibitions and have a very bad fabric (and other ephemera) collecting habit!
My Area of Expertise
Textiles. I am a mixed-media artist with a focus on textiles, and in particular, free motion embroidery, creating bespoke artworks for public and private commissions.
