The following workshops are currently available, but please note that I am always happy to adapt a workshop to a particular group’s needs or invent a new, bespoke workshop to order – just ask!

Please e-mail or telephone to discuss options.

Note: I do not run textile workshops from my home and a suitable venue must be provided by the group.

Inktensity

A one-day or half-day workshop exploring the Inktense pencils and blocks by Derwent and the many different ways they can be used on fabric.

Samples and finished pieces will be present for inspiration.

Felt Underneath - Zoom version available.

A one-day or half-day workshop embroidering on hand-made felt. This is an experimental workshop with the aim of trying out ideas and learning to exploit the special qualities of hand-made felt, and it is assumed that participants will have prepared their own felts for working with.

Samples and finished pieces will be present for inspiration.

Riches Revealed - Zoom version available.

A one-day workshop in which soft merino felt is stitched by hand or machine and then cut back to reveal embroidered and embellished silk; it is assumed that participants will have prepared their own felt. This is a project-based workshop but with plenty of flexibility built in and the results will be varied!

Samples and finished pieces will be present for inspiration.

Crossing the Line - Zoom version available.

A one-day or half-day workshop couching threads and objects by hand. This is an experimental workshop exploring the tremendous variety of effects possible using simple couching techniques.
