Textile Artist
and Dance Teacher

Hello. I am a textile artist and a creative dance teacher. My art practice includes hand and machine stitched textiles with mixed media, and my creative dance sessions are underpinned by Rudolf Laban’s principles of movement.

I make, teach and choreograph, always touching nature somewhere along the line.

Dancing into Elemental Art

..DANCING INTO ELEMENTAL        ART

OCTOBER 19th and 20th 2024

These workshops provide creative time out of the hustle and bustle of the busy world. Working alone and with others in this beautiful area of west Dorset, nature and the elements come together in our dance and art. No experience is necessary, just a desire to experience nature through our creativity.

We work in Salway Ash Village Hall, near Bridport combining dance and art, inspired by a walk in the lovely West Dorset countryside; on a hill fort, by the sea or in ancient woodlands.
£150.00

Contact me for more details for this October weekend

If you work with a stitch group I am happy to come to you. Get in touch for a list of workshops I can offer.
