Maker's bio

With a background in fashion design and costume making, I started my career in costume making, working for Angels and the BBC as a Costume Maker, working on productions as varied as Eastenders, Inspector Morse, The World is not Enough (James Bond), Plunket & Macleane, Silent Witness and The Bill. I have worked in creative arts higher education for over 20 years, now in a role at the University of the Arts, London at Central Saint Martins teaching fashion, costume & hand crafts. I now specialise in crochet, after teaching myself how to crochet during lockdown and finding a passion for it. I am a single Mum to a 7 year old son with Neurodiversity which has opened up a whole new world to me. I am passionate about helping others find a creative outlet either a hobby or a career and strongly believe that crafting of any kind is fantastic for our mental health.
