About Me
Throughout my career as a teacher I successfully passed on the joy of creative discovery allowing my energy and passion for creativity to infect those around me, whatever their level of knowledge and experience. Seeing the faces of satisfied Hens so proud of their creations has been the most rewarding activity so far.
My Favourite Things
Learning new techniques, being experimental and playing with the process, as well as adventures in the countryside.
My Area of Expertise
Textiles, Fabric Manipulation, Printing methods, Ceramics, Sculpture, Art journaling and Paper sculpture. I like to experiment, though I specialise within textiles and paper sculpture and art journaling, I love to play with ceramics too. Texture and pattern are a key feature in the products I like to create.

“Just want to say a big thank you for our wedding bunting workshop on Saturday. The bride and everyone in our party really enjoyed it and we loved the whole creation process from brainstorming ideas, crafting, to seeing the finished result. Our craft leader Kate was excellent in her delivery and execution of the session. Extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and forthcoming with ideas. A lot of us were new to crafting and she was incredibly patient and professional all the way to the end, and stayed longer to help us have it all put together and take photos for us. We really appreciated her time and professionalism. You were amazing Kate - thank you so much for going above and beyond, and creating a lovely, memorable experience for us all. Thank you to everyone behind the scenes who helped with the planning and preparation of the session. We hope to see you again in the future.”
“Kate and Catherine were extremely helpful, patient, inspiring and kind. I thoroughly enjoyed my time creating my beautiful fascinator. Thankyou!”
“We just wanted to say a big thank you to Kate for today’s patchwork lesson. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Kate was a great tutor - she was extremely patient with us and helped with our initial drawings and gave us amazing ideas to work with. Patchwork was a perfect craft for us and to be able to create a lasting momento of Amy’s hen do is just amazing. ”
