iI have been working as a textile artist for over 20 years and have authored four books and many articles; I offer a breadth of teaching and mentoring experience in the field of mixed media, fibre art, textiles and embroidery.

I enjoy working with varied media and incorporating unusual materials into my textiles.
I create work which is imbued with personal references. 

The pieces are rarely representational, but whatever their form, I am looking for an emotive response from the viewer.
​My am is to be at once personal, disconcerting and fascinating.

natural layers

Let's take inspiration from geological layers, geodes and agates, the variety of patterns and layers in these give us great pattern sources and a chance to get to grips with metal, metal mesh and some straightforward design techniques in 2 and 3 dimensions.

We will observe, make patterns, rip papers, stitch down, add textures then progress to metal, metal fabrics and stitch.
​We will combine metal fabric, needle felting, machine stitching, scrunch, pleat, paint, burn and more to create our surfaces and from these create a textured hanging or 3-dimensional vessel or sculpture.

We will explore a selection of interesting hand stitched and wires for the detailing.
​Maching and hand stitch.
