Made with care
Thoughtful making, beautiful materials and attention to detail are at the heart of what I do. I believe in taking time to make things well, while enjoying the process along the way.
Rooted in experience
My workshops draw on my experience as a teacher and textile artist, but leave plenty of room for curiosity, experimentation and individual ideas. I’m here to share what I know, encourage you to have a go and help you discover what you can do.
Room to experiment
Take risks, try something unexpected and embrace the happy accidents. There are no mistakes, only possibilities, and sometimes the most interesting things happen when we let go of the plan.
Beginners Knitting
Curious about knitting but not sure where to start?
