About Me
I've been teaching a wide variety of arts and crafts for over 20 years. Since 2017 I've been doing this full time, often from the unique location of the craft studio on-board our narrow-boat in Coventry. Naturally I get a lot of interest from people wanting to learn canal folk art 'roses & castles' as it's quite unique to learn canal art while actually on a narrow-boat. However, I also teach many other arts and crafts, needle felting is currently the most frequently requested. My personal favourite craft is Powertex, which is a way of turning scrap fabric, recycling etc. into unique works of art and weatherproof sculptures.
