WORKSHOPS
We offer textile workshops for individuals or for groups of up to eight people, lasting from one to ten days. The workshops are both residential and non-residential, and I teach most of them. However, workshops where I am not an expert can be arranged provided that there are enough students. The work itself is constructive but flexible enough for students to explore on their own in a different and inspiring environment. The workshop is also ideal for people interested in textiles who are in Thailand for a short stay or holiday, and who would like to visit the studio and attend a study day or one-day workshop. Transport is provided between Chiangmai and the studio.

I have considerable experience in teaching workshops and have given them throughout the UK. I was artist in residence at Dartington Hall in Devon for three years in succession, and in a six-month arts project in Milton Keynes. I have also worked with children in schools and have taught in teacher training seminars.
During the stay, students will have the chance to enjoy healthy home cooking which I prepare myself. Other activities provided include Thai traditional massage, yoga, cycling and swimming. This is a unique opportunity to study and enjoy a “sewing retreat”, with the added attraction of access to other textile experts, local makers and designers.
