Textile Art Workshops - Classes - Tuition

   
 
 
 
     
 

As well as creating products to sell, I enjoy running workshops for both adults and children. I feel that if you have a skill it should be shared so it doesn't die out.

Workshops for adults include:

Children's workshops include:

  • Papier-Mâché
  • Knitting
  • Weaving
  • Felt Making
  • Clay
  • and many more .....

I go into local schools, community centres and libraries to run sessions for adults and children.

Workshops and classes that I have run include:

  • Childrens Workshops - Family Services, Isles of Scilly.
  • Feltmaking Workshops - Arts For Health, Cornwall.
  • NCFE Creative Crafts Course - Guinness Trust, Cornwall College.
  • Introduction To Textiles - Helston College.
  • Felting and Beading - Transition Lostwithiel

To read a review of my workshop at Lostwithiel ...... click here.

I have also run workshops for Truro Young Women's Centre, Cornwall Neighbourhoods For Change, Truro Arts, Lifelong Learning IOS, Lafrowda Festival, Ayr Field Community Group and Penwith Housing Association.

Schools that I have worked with include St Ives Infants School, St Ives Junior School, Crowan Primary School, Redruth School and Liskeard Community College. I have passed a CRB check, (via Cornwall County Council) and hold the relevant disclosure certificate.

I get as much satisfaction from seeing my students realize that they too can be creative given the right help and support, as I do from making something myself.

I can tailor any workshop to your requirements and deliver at any level from beginner to advanced. If you'd like me to run a workshop for your school, textile group, stitch n bitch group or community group let me know.

I'm happy to travel anywhere - in fact I'd love to visit your school or group.

I also offer individual tuition in any aspect of textile art.

Please get in touch if you would like me to run a course or workshop for you.
