Where it all began … I first learnt to crochet as a child and spent hours and hours making, sewing, knitting and learning every new technique possible in art, craft and design. After a degree in Graphics and with 16 years experience teaching Textiles, Graphics, Art & Design and Design & Technology I strongly believe in developing my own practice to be the best tutor I can be. I am continually inspired by my students of all ages so it's definitely a 2 way street!

Art & Design Teacher CPD Course - Bookbinding - 1 Day - 2 People
"Absolutely fantastic day learning how to make silver charms from silver clay with Rachel and then forming a beautiful bangle on which to display charms with Mel. Rachel and Mel were so warm and friendly guiding me patiently through the processes. It was a very welcome 6 hours of switching off from the real world with copious tea, coffee and treats. Thank you so much Rachel and Mel. I will be recommending your course to all and sundry and I will definitely return next year now my appetite has been wetted for jewellery making. Xxx"

"I had a fantastic day with Rachel, which has boosted my enthusiasm to get started on my engraving path. The one 2 one allowed me to go at my pace and cover the sections I found more challenging in depth which has helped increase my confidence.
Thanks Rachel and great coffee too"

"Rachel made our mother and daughter morning very special. From the chalk board with a personalised welcome when we arrived to the regular offer of drinks, she made us very welcome. She got the balance of clear instructions and guidance and letting us get on with it perfect. Great to have just the two of us and the level of attention that came with that. Highly recommend. "
