Bespoke one-to-one classes to suit your schedule

Whether it’s crochet, knitting, or embroidery you’d like to learn, I will teach you how to make hip, stylish, modern clothing and accessories.

Give them away, sell them... or keep them for yourself!

I teach one-to-one classes and group workshops - see classes for more info.

Skills for life

I tailor our sessions to suit you, no matter how busy you are. You set the pace and the skill level - we work together to build upon each new skill until you’ll be amazed what you can create with your own two hands!

You will get such a wonderful high from making things yourself... and your loved ones will so appreciate handmade, customized gifts!
