- What textiles are you interested in?
- Felts, applique,accessory designs, collage, mixed media work.
- Where did you learn your textile skills?
- My mother was a dressmaking teacher, so I learnt to sew, knit and crochet from a very early age.
I have taught myself most of the varied skills I've learnt since then.
- Is there anything else you'd like other members of Stitchin' Fingers to know about you? Please feel free to tell us a little bit about yourself by way of introduction.
- I have always dabbled with textiles, but never really developed it as "my thing", but since starting my BA I have veered away from my art interests towards textiles and fibres.
