About Me

I love running the Crafty Hen workshops. They are fun and it’s great to see how ‘crafty’ so many people are!

My Favourite Things

I love to watch ballet, go to art exhibitions and the cinema. I also like to get my hands dirty in the garden!

My Area of Expertise

Painting, textile, jewellery, ceramics. I work professionally as a scenic/costume textile artist for stage and screen.  I age textiles to look vintage and worn, and paint designs on to textiles. It can be anything from a huge carpet to a child’s dress. I also paint and exhibit my work.

Favourite Session

Jewellery Making 

Area Covered

Ramsgate, Margate, Broadstairs, Canterbury, Deal, Dover, Folkstone, Rochester, Maidstone, Ashford, Hythe.

Thank you so much again to Marian for our session on Saturday. We all had a brilliant time! We would highly recommend The Crafty Hen and the flower crown workshops in particular.

Marian and Christine helped an uncreative and unpredictable group of ladies concentrate and make some lovely garters. Thankyou!

Everyone had the best time. Marian taught us everything we needed to know, she was so patient and helpful. There was more than enough flowers to go round and the finished product was amazing. The feedback I had from everyone was great, we thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend!! Thank you!
