I'm an award winning woven textile designer and co-author of "Creative Spinning" with Jane Deane and have been weaving since the age of eight.
I've been teaching all my subjects for the past 25 years, both as an Adult Education tutor and privately. I've been Chairman of my local Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers twice and run workshops for my guild and other guilds throughout the UK.
I love teaching my subject and get as much out of the experience as my students. At present I teach a regular Monday evening class locally and run workshops for various Guilds of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers, as well as private groups and individuals.
