CRAFT Pt 1: Surface & Form
This workshop explores working with your hands, recognising & developing your specific abilities.
In the search for your chosen medium, it is essential to journey through the elemental materials until you find what your ‘hand’ is best suited to.
Surfaces & Forms: Creating tactile samples & 3-D elements through preliminary experimentation & new craft techniques.
Old & New: Discussing blending traditional artisanal techniques with cutting-edge production advancements
Information off the body: Sampling ‘off the body’ allows the process to be more abstract and experimental …
Challenge your craft's primary outcomes to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving world.

Blending Fibre Art with Cloth Accessories
My work is informed by rescaling tailoring methods & 3D cutting
to redefine both ‘cloth-based accessories’ and ‘off the body’ artworks.
Inspired by ‘storytelling from the British timeline’
and the origins and purposes of men's cloth accessories
from the 11th to the 20th century.
