Artist Statement

I’ve enjoyed working with threads and fabrics from quite a young age. I’ve been a member of The Embroiderers’ Guild for 43 years and during that time have completed City and Guilds Part 1 and 2 in Creative Embroidery. I’ve tutored workshops on a range of embroidery skills and beading projects. I am happy to take commissions. I have made boxes and special caskets for friends and relations who wish to have a “special fabric” memory. I am enjoying making small gift items but am willing to discuss larger projects on a “one off” basis. My first involvement with Derbyshire Open Arts was in 2012 in the “Textile House” in New Mills. The Textile House will not be open this year so, as I live in Glossop, I’m happy to be involved with other local artists in Victoria Hall.
