BORN TO CREATE
I am a Fibre Artist, Crochet Designer, Creative Teacher, Upcycling Enthusiast and Lover of Colour and Texture.
I am a designerI love to design and have created over 20+ crochet patterns that are either available for free on my blog or can be purchased as instant downloads from my Etsy store. Despite my many years of crocheting, I have very little experience of following other peoples patterns, I have of course followed some (because I too have to learn), but I love nothing more that making something my own and putting my own spin on it.
My favourite things to design are amigurumi and crochet colourwork homewares and always like to offer customisable elements within my patterns so that you too can make them your own. |
I am a teacherI absolutely love to share what I do with others and have been teaching crochet for over 10 years, including group workshops, community events, private lessons, creative parties and with anyone that shows an inkling of an interest - be warned, if you mention you'd like to learn just once in my direction, I will no doubt teach you at some point soon after!
I have recently ventured into the world of YouTube and will be expanding my range of video tutorials and guides over the coming months, which is super exciting because I will be able to share my skills and enthusiasm with so many more people around the world. |
I am an artistOne of my biggest passions is sustainability, sustaining and developing traditional crafts as well as practising a make-to-and-mend ethos. Over the past four years I have become increasing involved within community arts, project managing and creating joint community projects and installations, including Joining lines 2018, yarn bombs for the Bulwell Arts Festival as well as supporting smaller community focused events. I get so much of my drive and energy from engaging with people!
These projects, as well as a deep rooted desire to make-do-and-mend (thanks Granny for your inspiration and skill sharing) have sparked new motivation for upcycling and producing less waste. |
