TEXTILE CRAFTS

WEAVING | TAPESTRY | FIBRE CRAFTS

Contemporary heritage crafts

I work with textiles and other natural fibres to create useful and beautiful objects. I am mostly drawn to traditional heritage crafts, the ones that people have been practising and perfecting for thousands of years but apply these techniques in a contemporary context. For me, creating something from raw materials is an empowering act that promotes self-reliance and resilience.

I teach textile crafts to various groups and individuals. I am very flexible and can adapt my teaching style and content to suit the needs of the participants. I can deliver courses or one-off workshops, either as standalone events or to fit into a wider programme of activities.

Workshops and demonstrations

I deliver workshops and demonstrations at public events or privately. I can teach and demonstrate the following textile crafts at beginner level (some intermediate), I practice many other crafts as well, contact me to discuss further options:
