Workshop Programme

I run a variety of textile workshops and classes from my Studio in Lewisham, as well as across the UK. I have worked with organisations and community groups globally, including Southbank Centre, Barbican Centre and CCA Goldsmiths. My workshops regularly cover techniques of:

Modern Tapestry Weaving: learning weaving skills on frame looms, upright floor looms, and backstrap looms.

Quilting: modern quilting techniques, sewing machine skills, learning how to use scrap fabric to create beautiful products.

Workshops vary in length and skill level, so whether you are a beginner, or looking to improve your skills I am sure that you will find the right workshop for you.

I also hold weekly classes in tapestry weaving from my studio in Lewisham Arthouse, that run during term time and are suitable for all levels.

I also offer private 1-2-1 sessions, and I am available for hire for events, including birthdays, baby showers and wedding celebrations.

Please see below for more information on all of these.

Weekly Tapestry Weaving

Join me for a tapestry weaving class on Friday afternoons from 2:30–5pm, open to both beginners and intermediate weavers. These new friendly and informal classes run in 5-week terms, and the first term has a 20% off, introductory offer of £120 per term (usually £150). With a small group size (maximum 9 people), you'll receive plenty of support as you explore creative weaving techniques or work on your own projects alongside fellow artists and weavers. You'll be introduced to tapestry techniques such as colour blending and textural weaving, with the opportunity to experiment and develop your skills in a supportive environment.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to refine your technique, you can join for one term or keep coming back to build your skills at your own pace.
