Workshops
Teaching is an important part of my creative practice and I offer a range of workshops in my central Edinburgh studio. From beginners workshops to master classes, artist mentoring and private tuition. A teaching fellow at Edinburgh University, I also run workshops for Dovecot Studio, West Dean and Weavers Bazaar. If you would like to discuss organising a workshop for your group, please get in touch.
