I facilitate workshops for museums, galleries, art organisations, corporate businesses, educational colleges and community groups.
Through my workshops, I create a playful and expressive environment that encourages connection with nature, materials, and each other. These sessions are designed to foster curiosity, reflection, and emotional engagement with making. I support participants in exploring natural materials through woven textiles and hand processes, helping them translate personal memories and lived experiences into meaningful, unique creations.
26-27th March, West Dean, London
Connect with nature through woven textiles by exploring both two-dimensional and 3D approaches. Learn how to weave without a loom, using just a needle and thread, and objects you have at home or can forage from the landscape, combined with natural textile materials.
2nd April, Boston Manor House, London
Intertwine paper yarns to create a open weave vessel using the basketry technique of random weaving with sumac stitch. Using a mould, you’ll create a decorative woven vessel as you discover the simplicity and joy of creating your own free-standing form.
18th April, Ardington School of Crafts
In this creative, sensory one-day workshop, you’ll invite the hidden hues of blossoms, and kitchen botanicals onto cloth through the eco-friendly art of bundle dyeing. Your hand-dyed fabric will then be paired with paper and raffia yarns as you learn the expressive, organic rhythm of random weave basketry.
20th June, Boston Manor House, London
Celebrate nature by exploring the potential of botanical inks made from plants in an expressive, playful and nourishing painting workshop. You'll be helped to explore different ways to express yourself through simple mark making and collage.
27-28th June, West Dean College, London
Using the basketry technique of random weaving combined with other textile techniques you will learn how to create three dimensional forms which are evocative of the seasons. We will use natural textile materials including paper, raffia, wool and silk.
