Workshops & Creative Learning

I design and deliver hands-on creative workshops exploring traditional textile skills, sustainable making and the art of repair. From embroidery and weaving to natural dyeing and wool processing, my workshops offer an opportunity to learn new skills, experiment with materials and discover the joy of making by hand.

Rooted in sustainability, creativity and community, my workshops are about more than learning a new skill. They create space for people to come together, share knowledge, connect with others and enjoy the experience of making collectively. I aim to make traditional crafts accessible, enjoyable and relevant to everyday life, encouraging a more thoughtful relationship with the materials around us.

Workshop Experiences

My workshops cover a variety of textile and heritage craft techniques, including:

  • Creative Repair & Mending – Woven darning, Sashiko embroidery and creative approaches to repairing and reimagining clothing and textiles.

  • Weaving & Embroidery – Small loom weaving, decorative stitching and traditional textile techniques.

  • Felting & Wool Crafts – Needle felting, wet felting, processing raw sheep fleece and learning to spin wool.

  • Natural Textiles & Dyeing – Exploring natural dyes, plant materials and traditional colour-making processes.

Working Together

I have delivered workshops in a variety of settings, from an independent vintage shop in Edinburgh championing sustainability and extending the life of clothing, to National Trust events and community workshops with the Mull and Iona Community Trust at the Glass Barn on the Isle of Mull.

I enjoy working with different communities, organisations and groups, creating welcoming and inclusive spaces where people can learn from one another, share experiences and build connections through making.

All workshops are fully equipped, with me bringing along the necessary materials, tools and equipment. Whether you're looking for a one-off creative session, a series of workshops or an activity for a community event, I can develop an experience to suit your needs.
