I have lead arts workshops and residencies with participants of very
differing ages and abilities. While I use different techniques and materials
if appropriate, my specialism is in felt-making workshops. The very tactile
nature of the felting process and the almost magical transformation of the
materials enables users to respond on many different levels.

Laying out the wool and rolling are two stages of the felting process.

| Stuffed felted figures and Heads, Bodies and Legs wall hanging were made with primary school groups. The pupils used their teachers as templates to create fantastical characters. |

| Hat Making – a two day workshop with youth group in Shropshire. The participants designed and created wierd and wonderful felt head gear. |
