Workshops

From my central Edinburgh tapestry studio I run a range of workshops, from small groups and master classes to private tuition and artist mentoring. As well as traveling the country to rum workshops for West Dean, Weavers Bazaar and many Weavers Guild, I also deliver courses for Edinburgh University and weaving experiences days at The Dovecot Studio. If you would like to discuss organising a workshop for your group please get in touch.
