I am a designer, maker and workshop tutor based in the Cotswolds, UK. I have always been a textiles enthusiast and have a passion for colour and texture. My collection is inspired by the countryside and gardens of the Cotswolds. I taught art and design, and textiles for many years, and have been a freelance artist since 2019, working from my home studio in Tetbury, Gloucestershire. 

I have always been a maker and love inspiring others to try different textiles techniques to create interesting designs. I find printing, making, sewing and experimenting calming, and being in my studio – which opens onto the garden – is my favourite place to be.
