London

We think of arts and crafts as smaller, valuable actions that contribute to the community’s well being and that can tackle bigger social issues; we are big fans of “slow-making and slow-thinking”, focusing on the importance of making by hand, of taking your own time with your thoughts and ideas, and going against fast, capitalist structures of production and art making. We provide a variety of workshops utilising a range of different media, such as knitting and crocheting, collage, publication making, creative writing. Our workshops are suitable for beginners hesitant to approach arts and crafts and for more experienced makers that are tired of the elitism and exclusivity that characterise contemporary arts. Arts and crafts are for everyone, and we would love for our participants to come out from one of our workshops with more confidence in their artistic and social skills.

Walton-on-Thames

I studied Art & Design at Falmouth Art School and then took a degree in Graphic Design & Illustration at Southampton Solent University. I now work as a product developer for a large, international jewellery manufacturer. Most of the work is commercial and not particularly creative. So as a creative outlet I enjoy many craft hobbies such as crochet, knitting and sewing and occasional a bit of illustration. It all started a long time ago… I moved to Germany when I was two and was put into the local kindergarten. I couldn’t speak a word of German, however the teacher, Frau Pfenning began my integration by teaching me to knit – purely by demonstration. When I came back to the UK aged nine, my mother taught me basic crochet and I became adept at making dolls’ clothes using only single crochet – discovering I could shape garments using increases and decreases. She also influenced my knitting style – I am a “pit knitter”, as was her grandmother. As an adult, I didn’t rediscover crochet and knitting until my early thirties – 10 years on and my hobbies have become my passion. I feel very privileged to be able to teach and pass on my love of this craft through my classes, in particular through the Riverhouse Hookers Please sign up to my newsletter to get notifications of my latest designs, patterns and news.

Creative Quilting

Surrey

Creative Quilting was founded back in 1989. Starting with about 5 bolts of brown fabrics, things have somewhat changed a bit... We now stock about 2,000 bolts of fabrics. We have a wide selection of books, notions and all sorts of tempting goodies to make quilts and other projects. We love making it easier for customers to select fabrics and, as a result, we regularly put together our own selections of precut packs (cut straight not pinked) which are available in the shop, on the website and through our dedicated fabric clubs – check out the Fabric Clubs page on the left. We also stock knitting and crochet yarn and needles, buttons, wool felt and ribbons. All members of staff do know which end of a needle to thread and, even if we are not all professional quilters, we always do our best to help you achieve the quilt of your dreams.

I first took up silk painting at the 2001 Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace, when the Fabric Colour Workshop were doing taster sessions. I went with curiosity, and came home with a large frame, some silk, a brush and a box of little bottles of paint! Since then, I have completed my City and Guilds qualification in creative textiles (silk painting), and the "Access to Art & Design" Diploma at the University for Creative Arts in Farnham. I enjoy teaching silk painting and helping each student to achieve their potential. I have written tutorials on aspects of silk painting for Crafts Beautiful Magazine and Creative Crafting Magazine, and contributed three projects to "Craft", which was published by Dorling Kindersley. I appeared (briefly!) on Paul Martin's Handmade Revolution (BBC2), and was interviewed by the Victoria & Albert Museum as part of a project on traditional crafts. I have run silk painting workshops for many local organisations including Watts Gallery, The Lightbox, The West End Centre in Aldershot, Amberley Museum, Woking College, NADFAS, The Embroiderers' Guild, the Guild of Weavers Spinners & Dyers, and the WI. I have also run introductory evening workshops for a number of local businesses, and many private parties. I have also been working in fused glass and ceramics since 2009, and have my own home workshop. I have been on a number of courses at Glasszoo, UCA Farnham, Warm Glass and The Glass Hub, and have also attended workshops at the International Festival of Glass. I have been featured in the Glass Beadmakers UK Magazine and Journal. I am a member of the Guild of Silk Painters. I set up their Surrey Branch in 2005. I have also spent time on the Guild of Silk Painters Executive Committee as their Vice Chairman and, more recently, as their Publicity Officer. My silk painting courses are also listed on craftcourses.com. I produce a range of hand made accessories and homewares from hand painted silk and fused glass, suitable for all occasions. Please do let me know if you have any questions. You can also visit www.surreycelloteacher.co.uk to find out about my other work.
