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.

We are so lucky to be able to run workshops with some absolutely brilliant local artists, all of whom are experienced teachers in their own right. Not only will you learn loads from them but they're also super friendly and encouraging people so you'll leave having created pieces that you didn't realise you could! Both beginners and experienced artists are equally welcome!

Maria Cuji Co

London

Maria, a designer from Ecuador, moved to the UK in 1997 and established her millinery company in 2008. She created her own hat blocks in different shapes and sizes, as well as designing and fabricating hats and fascinators. While doing some consultancy work in Ecuador, Maria delved further into the fashion world researching for other brands and institutions. This led her to enroll in a short course in the London College of Fashion where she pursued her interest in fashion further Having worked closely with the Ecuadorian artisans in their workshops, and understanding the way they work has only helped her develop further skills that she took with her to study Textiles BA at Central Saint Martins. Those who know and have worked with Maria have described her as ‘One of a Kind’ and ‘A true grafter’ as she is the sort of designer who is not afraid to experiment and explore boundaries.

TOAST began with loungewear and nightwear, designed in a farmhouse in Wales. Originally founded by James and Jessica Seaton in 1997, the collections reflected a sense of ease and a slower, more thoughtful way of life. Today, led by Suzie de Rohan Willner, TOAST creates and curates simple, functional, beautiful clothing, homeware and editorial. TOAST has shops throughout the UK and can be found in concept stores across the US and Europe. With studios in both London and Swansea, TOAST continues to design and develop all collections in-house and is proud to be one of the few fashion brands with its own full pattern room – lined with calico toiles and full of pins, papers, chalks and spools of thread, it is a true place of making.

Herschel Grammar School

herschel grammar school

Slough

Herschel is a selective, co-educational secondary school serving Slough and its surrounding areas. In our latest inspection the school was deemed outstanding in all categories by Ofsted. Herschel has a warm and vibrant atmosphere built on an ethos of mutual trust, high academic standards and a commitment to nurturing and developing every individual pupil. We provide the very best opportunities to ensure every child achieves their potential. ‘Pupils thrive in the school’s academic, yet very caring and secure environment’ (Ofsted) And our pupils don’t just achieve very good examination results. Their progress between Year 7 and Year 11 places the school in the top 11% of schools nationally. The school’s success is built on genuine collaboration and partnership between governors, staff, pupils and parents; a partnership which has great aspirations for every child. Teachers have high expectations and work very hard to provide challenge and support. As Ofsted said in their verbal feedback the teachers are ‘enthusiastic, passionate and inspirational’. Pupils themselves have positive attitudes to learning and work well together. They take responsibility for their own behaviour and have strong emotional intelligence and empathy. As a result our young people leave us as responsible, active citizens ready to contribute confidently to university, the workplace and their communities. There is a wealth of information on the website that I hope will help you to increase your understanding of the school and to serve as a first point of information.
