I love to work with a diverse array of fibres-from
vintage neckties to new silks, cottons and wool. I am
interested in fine construction details like piping
as well as adventurous experimentation such as fabric
collage and manipulation. In my knitting, sewing and
quilting workshops I actively cultivate an atmosphere
of invigorating creativity, encouraging discovery and
invention amongst the participants.
