Exploratory Textiles
Course Description
This is a new course to Moor Hall and is designed for students that have some experience with textiles, although the most important ingredient will be the ability to investigate, research and explore around a 'theme or an idea' and to create works that are exciting, innovative and original.
I will encourage fresh thinking through the introduction of a technique or process, that students can investigate further and in their own unique ways. This course will not be about my work or a technique where students all arrive at similar outcomes, but about pushing 'an idea' and embracing textile techniques on this journey.
Much of my role will be in mentoring you as individuals and in encouraging and suggesting routes that you could be taking. It will also be about sharing your thought process with others in the group.
I am very excited about embarking on this course and encourage prospective students to get in touch before enrolling.
If you have expressed an interest already please respond to the following questions so that I can check people’s suitability to this course. It will be a course which will require some commitment and responsibility on your part. With this in mind could you drop me a sentence or two explaining:
- why you want to embark on this course
- your reasons of how this course will benefit your working practice.
Please could you do this by 8th September or earlier.

My roots lie in theatre costumes and tailoring and later as a secondary school teacher. Since 1984, I have worked as a free-lance artist teaching textiles and art, to all ages and levels up to BA degree students. My own work as a teacher holds as much relevance as my work as an artist, both go hand in hand. This website shows a glimpse of some of my work.
