Textile Workshops for Schools and Universities

Bring creativity into your educational space with workshops designed to inspire and engage students of all ages.With 13 years of experience as a secondary art teacher, I bring a wealth of knowledge and creativity to educational spaces. Whether it’s hiring an artist for an Art Day, creating a school-wide quilt to celebrate an occasion or achievement, or helping students turn waste materials into imaginative designs, the possibilities are endless. From sustainable practices to collaborative textile projects, there are so many ways we can work together to spark creativity and make a lasting impact.
