To get details of my textile workshops and my personal portfolio of textile work.
All my books have been well received and people are actually reading them which makes me very happy. There is always a great temptation just to flick through the pictures. You will learn much more if you actually read the books!
Hot Textiles is a "doing" book. With plenty of ideas and exercises for distressing materials and having fun.
Experimental Textiles is a "why" book. Why are others inspired by a certain image? Why are you attracted to work with a particular product? There are plenty of design ideas for you to try but it is a book to make you think!
Layered Textiles is another "doing" book but including more paper and fabric this time. Plenty of inspiration for having fun with synthetics, newspaper and fabric as well as heat tools and stitch.
An inspirational and practical guide to the potential of heat tools for textile artists. Soldering irons, heat guns and household irons can add texture and variety to textile work – whether it’s hand embroidery, machine embroidery, quilting or felting.
