I run day and two day workshops and longer summer schools designed to stretch creative imagination with an emphasis on intuitive exploration and pushing beyond boundaries. I work with a combination of stitch, painting, paper and cloth to create pieces in response to land, sea, sky and trees.
I am happy to deliver workshops and talks to Textile and Art groups, with due consideration given to distance to travel. The following examples give a flavour of the workshops I offer; use the contact page to discuss your requirements.
- 'Print: place: stitch' a 2 day workshop with print collage and hand stitch on a seascape theme...
- 'Layers in land and seascapes’- a textile approach explore methods of layering papers to form surfaces for stitch.
- 'Developing sketchbooks' a creative workshop working with a free approach to generating ideas through a working sketchbook.
