We are
absolutely delighted to announce that we will be hosting 3 City & Guilds

fabulous crafty self then this could well be for you!
These
workshops are aimed at complete beginners, anyone who wants to gain a
recognised qualification or those who want to enter into a structured course of
learning and who may wish to gain teaching qualifications in their chosen

Each
course consists of 2 units;
- Unit 1 introducing simple design ideas using colour, line and texture.

I have
been working with textiles since a young girl starting with kits and magazines.
In the 80’s I started designing hand knitted aran garments which were sold
though craft fairs through out the country. On moving to Peterborough I began
designing cross stitch patterns for national magazines. This led me to the City
& Guilds courses and I completed what is now the certificate and diploma
Creative Embroidery courses in the early 1990’s. I have recently completed the
City & Guilds Patchwork and Quilting Certificate under the guidance of
Barbara Weeks.
I have
worked in local Primary and Secondary schools as an Artist in Residence and as
a textile teacher, helping several schools achieve their Art Mark.
I have
been an active member of the Embroiderers Guild since the early 90’s and joined
the Quilters Guild 3 years ago.
I have
had work exhibited both locally and further afield, I was a finalist in the
Charles Henry Foyle Award twice with my work being exhibited at the Needle
Forge Museum in Redditch.
