I'm a textile artist and creative maker, specialising in working with intuition to create beautiful, special, unique fabric pieces that sing of your own inner whisper.
I enjoy bringing traditional techniques to you in a new light.
If you're a complete beginner, my courses are the stepping stone to a new creative textile world. You'll learn embroidery techniques from the very first stitch, right through to inserting a zipper.
More experienced students learn how to break rules, do things with abandon, instinct, intuition, and approach things with a completely different viewpoint.
- What if I'm a complete beginner?My videos are filmed as if you're right beside me in my studio. My videos are aimed for total beginners to learn how to create. You'll learn how to insert a zip, even if you've never sewn one before - overcome your fear of zips with my simple how-to.
- What does 'lifetime' mean?This means the life of the course - not so much your or my lifetime :)
