My work includes weaving, felt making, beading, knitting, fabric dyeing and space dyed threads.
This website contains details of the workshops that I run, my work and projects that you might like to try.
My aim, in my workshops is to inspire people to explore their creativity and create textile art of their own. I run workshops for both adults and children, in libraries, schools and community centres. I also run scheduled classes in the local area.
I undertake commissions and supply work to galleries and shops. Please get in touch if you would like a unique piece of textile art. I am a member of the Made in Cornwall scheme, which aims to identify genuine Cornish goods through the use of the distinctive logo.
Please enjoy my website. I hope that it inspires you to join a workshop, book one for your school or community group, or simply try out a textile project of your own !
