Textile artist and Dorset button specialist. I’ve been creating with textiles for many years, mostly self taught, with a big passion for wool! Talks on textiles, Dorset buttons, knitting, crochet, felting, spinning and embroidery. Lots of examples of work to show, and many years teaching. Author of several craft books, including Dorset button books, which sell all over the world. I mostly use public transport to travel as I'm not able to drive. Please provide a postcode with your enquiry so I can check it's possible to get to you. I can arrange a lift for talks within 25 miles of SP11.
