Talks

About quilts, dyeing and more……

Talks, kind of – but really demonstrations with plenty of 'Show and Tell' (no slides)

My Quilts and Their Stories

This talk takes the form of a "Show and Tell". Starting with my first quilts. I'll show you how my work has developed over the years – punctuated by an anecdote or two!

Dyeing in plastic bags and other things.

Don't worry about the title! I'll demonstrate the techniques followed by a show a tell of some of my work'
This talk can be about dyeing cotton, wool or both – please specify which you think would be most suitable for your group.

Going Potty!

Sometimes I think I have gone potty. The first time I saw a little fabric coil pot I knew I was hooked. I have now taken the technique in many different directions. I'll show you how it's done – and lots of examples of finished pieces to inspire you. But beware you might get hooked too!

A little bit of everything!

My textile journey from hexagon patchwork to wearable art.

My dyeing story.

How I started with a tin of Dylon and a couple of buckets to where I am now dyeing cotton, silk and wool.

All talks last approximately 45 minutes – plus time at the end for questions and a chance to take a closer look at examples of my work.
