I am currently working on a new book on Double Knitting and more felting patterns /templates. I have designed for companies as far a field as Australia and also private commissions abroad, taught in Europe and Scandinavia
My inspiration is always nature based or inspired by my travels and new architecture. I cannot imagine a life without fibre. I live in the North Pennines and have my gallery within The Silver Gallery Sedbergh.
I have started using differing techniques and fabrics together to prepare exhibition installations which will use digital enhancements as an alternative way of engaging with the process.
