January = Indigo bundles,  dip dyeing, hand weaving, hand embroidery, hand made garments.

The very end of 2016 and the very beginning of 2017

Taking a step back from this busy time of year to reflect on my creative journey. It really has been an incredible year with shows, galleries, exhibitions, installations and Hothouse16. December is a month for research. Looking forward to putting my new ideas into practice in 2017.

Thank you for your support
and my best wishes for the New Year

Weekend workshop at The Wonder Inn Manchester.

My Indigo and weave workshops are focused on seeing the potential in forgotten materials. You are invited to bring your fabric/ garments that have a special story, memory or meaning, that you will dismantle and have the opportunity to dip dye and to create a unique piece of weave to treasure. A time to get away from the fast pace of our digital lives and to embrace slow craft processors.

Each student will need to bring dress making scissors and any fabric brought needs to be Cotton, Cotton dyes best in Indigo. I will bring a selection of fabric also. Tutoring, Dye and Materials all included. 

Investment is £25 per workshop

This workshop will be available on Sat 19th Nov & Sun 20th Nov.
We have 2 seperate event pages, so please ensure you follow the ticket link for your preferred day.
