Teaching & Workshops

COVID 19 Update:  May 2021:.

Thank you for all your support in this challenging time.  We will be able to crack on with our creative explorations in person as soon as it is safe to do so.  Please keep visiting for more updates and drop me a line if you have any questions.  I hope you are all still cracking on with the creativity. If there is enough interest to do more ZOOM classes then I will aim to get the next one set up for the second week of June. Like the last sessions, there will be no charge for the ZOOM classes.  Thank you for all your continued support and lets hope we can meet up soon for a mega creative session.

Workshop Update: COVID 19 (March 2020)

As part of Government advice plans for future workshops have been put on hold.  I hope to be able to run these again once it is safe to do so, however for now I have had to cancel the Creative Pattern Cutting Workshop which was scheduled for April 2020.  For students who have paid in full/ paid a deposit you will receive a full refund.  If you have not received your refund by 30th March please e mail me direct.

I have been running a number of workshops at Northlight Education and The She-Ed and they have been very successful. Due to high demand, I will be running these again in 2019.

There was a waiting list for the last group of courses so please book early to avoid disappointment. The maximum number of students is ten (eight for pattern cutting).

Electronic Textiles/Soft Circuits – Introduction (Phase 1) For details and booking information please contact me here

The next workshop is the weekend of 28th and 29th September 2019, which will be held at my workshop space The She-Ed. For those who have attended previous workshops, and those who are based elsewhere in the country and require local accommodation, the She-Ed is a larger space so the next course will not be held at Northlight Education but will still be in Hebden Bridge.
