Maker
I obtained my punch needle certificate at The Mindful Crafters Institute in Germany and I am very passionate about the art of punch needle. I particularly enjoy making larger items such as floor rugs, cushions and wall hangings. I use a variety of yarns such as wool, wool mixes, cottons and acrylic which can all be successfully punched into monks cloth. My workshops are geared towards beginners, age 18 and up, who have never handled a Punch Needle before. Who want their crafting to have extra meaning or as a way of getting more intouch with their creative spirit or as a way of calming their stress levels or just simply to learn the art of punch needle.
