I organise and run bespoke workshops (for adults and children)and offer one to one tuition. Call me to discuss pricing and your requirements. …techniques include embroidery, Shisha work , kantha, kawandi, block printing, shibori with natural and synthetic dyeing , Sashiko and Boro inspired stitch = stitching to repair. I also run regular indigo dyeing classes with Liz Mullenger. Contact me for details. Spaces are limited. We keep our classes small and affordable. Recycling and upcycling is at the core.
I absolutely LOVE talking about textiles and art and offer several talks:
Becoming Me Again – How Textiles Changed My life
Gujarat Journey: The Art and Heritage of Gujarati textiles –
Threads of Tradition: Suzanis, Stitch and Talismans from the Uzbek section of the Silk Road
I also talk about specific textile techniques used in India and my recent travels in Rajasthan and Uzbekistan. I also talk about textiles at World Textiles Days http://worldtextileday.co.uk/
I run hand stitch based workshops at Sew Creative in Petersfield.https://sewcreative.org.uk/ and in Romsey at Chris Watkins’ Art House. I sell my work at the Barn Emporium near Rogate https://www.barnemporium.co.uk/?s=My+cat+has+nice+boot and do occasional workshops there too, in the Hoote Suite. I can arrange bespoke classes for you and a group of friends. Contact me for details.
