As an ex-Science teacher and senior lecturer, I am very experienced in teaching practical subjects to people of all ages and levels. I love to share the fibre knowledge I have gained over the last 50 years.

I offer a range of workshops on fibre preparation and natural dyeing techniques throughout the year from my own home.  Places are limited to 3 people, so  everyone learns and there is plenty of room.

You can find the courses I offer and the dates on the Workshop page.  You can also sign up to my workshop email list, so you are the first to know about new dates.

I also offer one-to-one tuition on spinning and weaving (up to 8 shafts) either on my own looms or yours, if you are local. This is to provide help appropriate to your current level of learning.  Please contact me for details.

As an experienced speaker, I offer a range of talks on natural dyeing, growing dye plants, wool and climate change and what we can do to reduce the effects.  I studied Environmental Science in my first degree, so know and understand more than most.  More details can be found on my talks page or if you have a subject in mind please don’t hesitate to contact me.

I give talks and demonstrations on natural dyeing, fibre processing and preparation, nalbinding and spinning for projects.  Additionally, if you want to learn more about the textiles and colours from history from the Neolithic period to the present day, please get in touch.
