Your teacher
Hello there! I'm a passionate lover of all things art and design, dedicated to bringing beauty and creativity into everyday life. My journey as a maker and crafter involves a variety of techniques, including sewing, quilting, and crochet. In my work, I prioritise sustainability and mindful crafting and promote these in classes that I run, where possible I like to use carefully select vintage and end-of-roll natural textiles and trimmings, giving these materials a new life and purpose. I have been teaching sewing and crocheting for many years and love to promote and allow people's own style creativity shine.
