​What I do

I run group crochet workshops, one-to-one sessions and fun modern crochet parties suitable for all levels throughout Nottingham. I also design amigurumi creations and fun homeware items. My crochet designs are all available to purchase over in my Etsy shop.
​

What inspires me

Colour, texture, pattern and people but most importantly I am inspired by tradition and good old family values. I feel it is important to sustain traditional techniques and ideas.

​​Where it all began

My passion for crochet began when my Granny Leitha showed me the basics. Granny would always have a yarn based project on the go (she still does aged 85) and I always knew there would be a time I'd want learn to.

I began my journey some 12 years ago by learning to knit and after a bit of knit-one purl-one and many frustrating dropped stitches I was soon ready to move on and crochet was next up. It's been a love affair ever since. ​

​​My Training

Being professionally trained at Nottingham Trent University (2006) in textile design, my portfolio of knowledge both contextually and technically is varied. I have a strong drive to create and through experimentation I have developed a diverse range of practical skills which I like to share with others. I have been teaching in some form or another for the last 7 years and it’s the best part of my job. I love working with people and watching their skills and abilities grow.
