Colchester,
In 2016, I began offering workshops in my studio, located just outside of
Coggeshall and a few miles from Colchester. The converted barn provides a
creative and supportive hub where I teach groups of up to twelve. Many of my
structured textile workshops are taught across one or two days, but I do provide
longer, design oriented textile courses and I mentor several groups on an
ongoing basis. As my background is in creative textiles all the workshops I
offer both in the studio and as a visiting tutor involve free motion embroidery
with a design approach. More recently I have begun to take on other textile
tutors and I now can offer a much larger range of textile courses including
dressmaking, pattern cutting, felting, modern patchwork & Quilting as well as
hand embroidery and decorative textiles. As well as textiles I have expanded the
workshop itinerary and now offer illustration, lino printing, fused glass and
silver clay jewellery on a regular basis with local, fabulous tutors. I hope
that regardless of what experience level you have, you will still find something
to suit you. So whether you are a beginner or more advanced in your chosen
craft, take a look at the full range of workshops available. If you are unsure
as to whether you will be able fully participate in a class, then simply get in
touch and I would be happy to advise on what is best for you to do. While the
majority of the workshops available through this site are based at my studio, I
do travel and teach regularly in other local venues and I am happy to go further
a field. This allows me to reach more students and collaborate with others,
which is something I love to do. I offer a range of structured one and two day
workshops to beginners through to more experienced in machine embroidery. Do get
in touch if you are a Guild or textile group to discuss your groups requirements
and I am a happy to send you a list of workshops I offer. Back to the studio –
the current range of workshops will grow over time and I hope to continue
offering a wider variety of subjects so if there is something you are interested
in but can’t see listed, get in touch! If I have something in high demand, I
will do what I can to arrange a workshop around this.
