TALKS
Booking Information & Logistics
Due to rising travel expenses, my preference for in-person bookings is to combine an evening / day talk with a workshop on the following day. This allows us to make the very most of our time together!
However, if your group is only looking for a standalone talk, I am delighted to offer my presentations virtually via Zoom.
Every group is unique, so please get in touch to discuss your specific requirements, availability, and pricing. I look forward to connecting with you!
Talks in person and on zoom are £150. (Plus travel if in person @55p per mile)
#4theloveofstitch, an obsession and an accident
Join me for an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at my evolution as a textile artist. In this talk, I’ll share the stories, inspirations, and exact processes that bring my stitched collages to life—from the first spark of an idea to the final, intricate layers.
We will dive deep into my pivotal shift in direction from 2021 to the present day, exploring the birth of #sew4thesoul and how a deep passion for textile art transformed into a beautiful, lifelong obsession with the craft. Whether you are a fellow maker or an art lover, get ready for an honest of my wandersing and ponderings.
Whole : Hole
What happens when you completely lose your creative spark? We have all lost our mojo at some point, and for me, hitting that total creative wall coincided with a global pandemic. In this deeply personal talk, I share the honest story of navigating that empty space—the "hole"—and how I used stitch to climb back out.
I will take you through the raw, messy, and ultimately triumphant process of turning a creative void into a vibrant new beginning. You will see how the meditative act of leaning back into the needle and thread became the bridge to healing, ultimately leading to the birth of a brand-new body of work and inspiring the movement #4theloveofstitch. Join me to discover how embracing our lowest creative points can be the exact catalyst we need to make ourselves—and our art—whole again.
All talks are around 45 mins with time for Q&A and viewing my work afterwards
