Talks and study days are offered online or in person
My talks are illustrated with images from my personal work and experiences, collection of textiles and artefacts from India and Africa.
- Embroidered African Textiles
- African beadwork and textiles
- Strip woven cloths from Africa
- Identity and adornment
- Jewels of India – traditional embroidery and textile skills
- Caring for cloth – for those interested in their textile heritage and conservation of family or church textiles – in person only
- Personal current work and ideas
My collections are also available for study days, an opportunity to handle authentic handmade textiles and beadwork and to examine and record ideas for development. These are delivered in person with an introductory talk to suit the interests of the group.
