It is always a pleasure to teach the fascinating folk techniques that I work with regularly and use in my designs - some are more intricate and time consuming to learn than others and my workshops reflect this and can range in length from a few hours, to one day or evening, weekend classes or residential courses. All are for adults and the majority are aimed at intermediate or more advanced knitters who have existing skills and all follow a fairly intensive schedule (as there is always so much to get to grips with and practice!).

My teaching style is flexible however, and you are always encouraged to go at your own pace. So whether you are a complete beginner, simply want to brush up on your knitting, nålbindning, twined or crochet skills, or are keen to learn something more advanced and exciting, I can teach a workshop to suit you and your needs. If you are interested in hosting a workshop or classes please contact me for more details.

Upcoming Workshops

Crochet: Beginners 19th September for ten weeks

On this inspirational course you will learn the basic principles of crochet: chain stitch, double and treble stitch, simple shaping, easy crochet squares and circles, edgings, flowers and leaves. You will also learn how to follow charts, understand written patterns, use finishing techniques and choose the right yarns. This course is ideal for beginners and improvers and each week there will be patterns for original projects to work on. Although the course will follow a schedule, the teaching is flexible, allowing you to go at your own pace. By the end of the course you will be able to build on your knowledge and progress to more creative work.
