Please note I am not booking talks or workshops at the present time that are more than 50 miles from Nottingham. This is due to due to family commitments. Please do contact me for details.
Talks
All talks include an overview of my practice and are illustrated by a collection of my quilts, stitched objects, boxes and books.
Talks can be arranged in conjunction with a workshop, take the form of a demonstration or stand alone and are tailored to your requirements.
Please contact me for additional information, dates and prices.
Workshops
1. Acid Etching on Fabric
This workshop introduces you to acid etching on fabric using devoré paste. Students create their own sample piece using layers of fabric, stitch, cords and found objects. Etching parts of the fabric away exposes the layers beneath creating a multi-textured sample.

2. Create a Cabinet of Curiosity
Many of us have a box full of small objects and collected ephemera, too odd or too scruffy to be displayed but much too precious to be discarded.
Well here is a wonderful way to bring those much loved bits and pieces together inspired by the Cabinet of Curiosities. Students will use paper, board and fabric to construct a small cabinet to display their treasured objects.

3. Create a Very Personal Book
Starting with blank flat pages we use fabric, stitch, collage, paint, stamping, printing, bonding, photo transfer and found objects; in fact any method of embellishing paper or fabric to make an exciting one off book.
Students are shown a simple and effective no-stitch way to create their own books or journals.

Projects and Clubs for Young Students
Art is a wonderful outlet. It can be anything from a simple pastime to a burning passion. In this digital age we often forget that things can still be made.
These courses encourage young students to explore their imaginations and their world through the medium of art. Students are encouraged to find their own artistic voice following themes of collecting, scrapbooking and journaling.
Using combinations of text, drawing and painting, 3D construction, collage, photography and their imagination, students will find this an engaging experience.
